There's no value proposition if they can't use their scripts. While some people digg as hobbyists, the hardcore people were doing it for revenue (either in the form of paid submissions or to submit their own content once in a while). The end result will be a lot fewer page views for them. They haven't even scratched the surface on their problems. The Top 100 mainly digg only the stories of mutual friends, and they do it blindly. (stats at http://humanorbot.com) If Digg cracks down on those, they'll have to get rid of the the core that has built the site for them. To paraphrase MrBabyMan, if you ban the top diggers, you'll just open it up for the next level of people to do the same things. Their page views won’t be increasing — banned users won’t come back.
