Don't put much hope in creating a ticket, none of mine had been answered since 1-2 years.

[melvincwng]

@MishraJitesh , raise a ticket to GitHub Support and allow some time for the support engineers to investigate the issue.

Hope this helps.

my account has been flagged plz help me to resolve this problem

[airtower-luna]

That's something you'll have to contact GitHub support about, us other users can't help there. Good luck!

[x0root]

No need, that's just waste of time I've already contact it for 1 month and no response at all.

[fredluff]

My account has been flagged for years for no reason.

Tickets didn't help, the support relied like answering machine. The reply didn't even tell me why my account got flagged.

@Dude0002 you got your account back ?

[Zubair7102]

Bro, you got your account back?

[fgsfgh]

Same here. Looks like GH is managed by the 3-neuron NN and nobody really gives a F.

[InfoDevEstudent]

Olá a todos, boa noite!
Criei minha conta no Github e não abri mais, agora quando abri novamente, notei que tinha uma mensagem "flagged", gostaria de saber como faço para resolver?
Obrigado pela atenção, aguardo!

Sou novato em Lógica de Programação e Desenvolvimento Web, se caso tenha feito algo errado, por favor me desculpem...

[saakethg]

May I know how you got that resolved?

[rebecacarvalhoaraujo]

[alainecodes]

Ola, conseguiu em quanto tempo ter o retorno de funcionalidade normal da sua conta ?

[MarkusDM]

Good afternoon! Can you please tell me why my github account was blocked? I didn't do anything wrong =)

[pedrosifreitas]

If you believe you haven't done anything wrong, go to https://github.com/contact, make a ticket, and wait for an response. That might take a while tho

[theburcu]

Similar thing happened to me. I contacted support and they solved the issue in 10 minutes. They say sometimes their abuse detecting systems highlight accounts that need to be manually reviewed. Other than that, it is not clear why.

[yabuking84]

Same problem. 10 mins? How? I actually wanted to try pro to have better github support but I couldnt because Im flagged.

[AdityaSrivastavDS]

@theburcu Can you tell me that how your problem get solved in just 10 minutes?
Please help my account also get flagged due to which I am facing job rejections as my profile is hided

[Cryptograsi]

hello, my account has been flagged and treated as spam. why was my account evaluated this way and how can we fix it?

[pedrosifreitas]

Ask the support. If you believe you haven't done anything wrong then you should be able to recover it.
This is the only solution but it might take a while until you get a response

[yoogakim]

hello, my account has been flagged and treated as spam. this is an account i am using in work, can i get it back?

[Dojeto]

did you got your account back ?

[gagaoqphs]

@yoogakim you got your account back ?

[martins-avots]

Hi,
my newly created account got flagged more than a week ago.
I opened several support tickets, 1 from my old account and 2-3 from my new account.
For each ticket I received an e-mail, that the support ticket was created, but I cannot find any of them:

I don't understand the situation, because there is no feedback, as even the tickets themselves are invisible to me.

I'm a bit lost.

[ghost]

Hi all.

My account has been flagged for years for no reason.

[Martinxc]

My account got flagged right from the moment I registered my account... Waiting for a reply on a ticket for some time now...

[Gorq771]

Hey!
My account has been flagged.
Please, help.

[superlogicdev]

Hello, Mr. or Ms.
I don’t understand what happened to my account.
Would you tell me what to do now?
Thank you very much for your support.
I don’t know why my account has been flagged.

After sending the e-mail you will receive response e-mail after some time(1 day approx) like this:

[KrasimiraYordanova]

Hello, to what email you sent the complaint, please? I just got my account flagged.
I can see lots of people has this same issue

[vansinhu]

Hello, Sir or Madam,
My account has been flagged, and I am now unable to log in to many websites that use GitHub authentication. Moreover, the code links in my research papers have become inaccessible, causing significant impact.
I greatly appreciate your support! Please unflag and unlock my GitHub account: https://github.com/vansin. Thank you!

[martins-avots]

What worked for me: I was part of a GitHub organization, which paid for all of their members.
I asked the admin of that organization to create a ticket in order to unlock my account.
Maybe it was just luck, but my account was unlocked 2 days after that.

I have the suspicion, that a GitHub-Pro subscription might improve the reaction time for support tickets,
but that is just a speculation of mine.

For me, as a consequence of all of this, I'm using different platforms and servers as a backup.

[SandeepK1729]

hey,

You have been suspended from GitHub.

This moderation action was taken after we received a report and determined that your account violates our Acceptable Use Policy prohibiting the use of our platform in direct support of unlawful attacks that cause technical harms. We do not allow anyone to use our platform in direct support of unlawful attacks that cause technical harms, such as using GitHub as a means to deliver malicious executables or as attack infrastructure, for example by organizing denial of service attacks or managing command and control servers. Technical harms means overconsumption of resources, physical damage, downtime, denial of service, or data loss, with no implicit or explicit dual-use purpose prior to the abuse occurring.

When making content moderation decisions, we consider information from a variety of sources, including: account profile data, information contained in submitted reports/notices or discovered through our own voluntarily initiated investigations, and context around the contents of the repository.

If you wish to regain access or would like to dispute that a violation occurred and can provide additional information to show that a different decision should have been reached, please review our Appeal and Reinstatement Policy and submit a request via our form.

[cross-of-north2]

I was finally reinstated on 98th day from the date reinstatement request was created.
First feedback from the support was on the 97th day.

Thanks, I guess. Could be better, could be worse.

[MANGAANIL]

My friend @anjan-budige GitHub account was flagged as spam due to unauthorized access. Despite submitting a restoration request 2 months ago, he has not received any response from GitHub support. This account is vital for his academic and professional work. Can anyone help or escalate this issue?

[fgsfgh]

Chances are low they do something. I was provoked into what they call "bulling", because they don't watch for environment sanity at all (zero attention to repo vandalizing, discussion derailing etc.), got "flagged", filed an appeal (raised a ticket). A few months have passed since, I believe, March? And not a single F was given. All dead like after the nuclear war like there's no support at all. IDK, maybe the tickets are "invisible", too. But then... Well, you are totally out of luck with this GH crap once you got flagged, be it deserved or on accident. It's easier to create a new account. I was forced to do exactly this to be able to file reports for some projects. But in general I will never ever entrust my code to these rascals and will advise everyone to do exactly this and to stay away from it.

unable to use copilot on vscode and delete my organization because my account has been flagged by mistake

Hello, I'am currently facing some issues with deleting the organization "Omar-Business-intelligence-repos" which I planned to use for grouping my personal github repos (not for an actual organization).
Little did I know that this was a very bad idea and there were smarter ways to do grouping, hence I tried to delete this organization but wasn't able to do it.
Because my account has been flagged by mistake I tried to contact customer support about this but I couldn't because my subscription on github is free and I believe this issue is interfering with my use of github copilot on vscode.
I would appreciate it if I can get a response about this issue as soon as possible.

also here is some footage and some logs that could help in solving the problem:

Same problem, my github account @warmthsea was banned for unknown reasons last Friday, I didn't receive the ban reason, all the data left on github disappeared, tried to contact support, but didn't get any reply.

[ashish07-07]

[kushagra-xo]

how long did it take for your ticket to get resolved?

[briancullinan2]

I've been waiting over a week for https://support.github.com/ticket/personal/0/3308293. I tried to provide as much detail as possible. No response from GitHub. In addition they ruined all of my hosted pages sites. I had to redirect the domain to another host.

[briancullinan2]

this is giving me really bad depression.
