As my readers know I have been an avid support of Stumbleupon. I even donated money to them since I believed in what they were accomplishing through their great idea. I have promoted them to all of you many times. I loved Stumble.

Now they are trying to crack down on spam. Great, I hate spam as much if not more than anyone. I have fought spam on this site and on the web in many ways. Now for some reason Stumble thinks they should stop my account.

I assume they are saying that I have spammed. Now if sending a link to a friend is spam, than what good is Stumble? That would mean Stumble IS SPAM by design. They mentioned to me that anyone participating on Digitalpoint is a violation of their terms. I am not sure why this forum is a violation, but I have not participated on this forum … EVER. So they don’t even know why they are blocking me.

If giving a thumbs up to a friend’s great blog post is spam, than Stumble IS Spam by design. Also people often add their own site to Stumble. If you write a great post you should be able to tell someone. Isn’t that what all forms of writing does. If I write a good book, I will tell a friend.

I lovED Stumble. They have gone off the deep end by attacking one of their biggest supporters.

*** Update ***I just noticed that my post yesterday says that Stumbleupon is making changes and it isn’t as good as it once was. Interesting that this morning I get banned. Here is the post How to Grow Your Blog .
