Top Digg User banned from Digg

I'm sad to announce that one of the top Diggers (cGt2099) have been officially banned from Digg. It really sucks because he is one of the few who actually submitted good quality contents. And the reason? Well he simply posted a rather obscene yet funny picture. If you missed the picture, get with him on StumbleUpon.

And what can we learn from this? Well do not submit pics of topless fat ladies walking in the beach! LOL...thanks Greg you will be missed!!!

UPDATE - Looks like this little post is slowly getting momentum at Digg. Let's keep it going guys, help us get this story to the front page! Digg this story for our fallen friend...
