How to Ignore Digg.com 's Ban and Continue to Submit

Ok first of all i want to say that i don't have anything against Digg.com it's a great site that i use frequently and i could have kept for me this information but i want Digg.com to fix this problem because there are out there some real pain in the ass spammers that got banned, So Digg.com moderators pay attention.

Ok, here goes. My current blog, www.beepme.blogspot.com got it's URL banned on Digg.com because while i was in my vacation an idiot friend(sk8ter_fiend) who was just initiated by me in Digg.com(big mistake) thought he could talk with the guys from our network to create accounts and raise my Diggs on some of my submitted news. Nothing wrong until now.

The problem is that my Moron friend didn't thought that, because all our 26 Internet users from our network have the same ISP subscription(this way we pay less) we all "get out" on the internet with the same IP therefore Digg sees us as a User that is creating multiple accounts from the same IP.

I've sent an email to Digg.com apologizing and told them the story, they understood the problem and replied back and kindly unbanned my account, thank you Digg.

The Bugg that Ignores the Digg URL block
When i saw my URL blocked in the first week i coursed my friend day and night for ruining my account and getting my URL blocked but in one night i thought hmm maybe the URL block is done by an automated bot so i thought let me change the beginning of the URL so:
1. I entered http://www.beepme.blogspot.com and didn't worked, saying my URL is blocked due to spam.
2. I entered my URL modified as www.beepme.blogspot.com and surprise i could post. It allowed me to submit an article from my blocked blog.
3. So cut the HTTP:// from your blocked URL and it will work.

This thing will be probably fixed in a few day after this article hits the light, i hope i helped the Digg.com community to become a better and safer place for all of us.
NOTE: My blog's URL is currently still blocked.

[UPDATE]
As a result of my article, Digg.com fixed this security problem, but didn't even thanked me for reporting the problem. A well I'm going to continue to do my job, big websites don't know the words "Thank You".
