My account was marked, and I didn't break any rules.

I opened a ticket to support, but it has not been responded for 2 weeks.

Can you please raise this topic for the help guys?

[sercanserdar]

[wisitlongsida1999]

[HackerTMJ]

[hugogontijomachado]

I also have the same issue. I got flagged but I'm not a spammer. This has been hurting me a lot because I couldn't make any more commits, I can't clone my repositories, I can't use copilot and any other tool.
I sent a ticket to support a little while ago and I'm waiting for a solution....

[Umi007]

[mhamidjamilraza]

Support is even not responding,
I have contacted, my account was not new, it was created in 2019, and has more then 900 commits.
how bad they are at resolving this issue, i had send them mail before month from the main account, but they don't response i send mail again after 1 week no response, after that i send mail from this account not linked with the flagged account they reply to this mail that i should send mail from the Gmail account which was linked with the flagged account, I mean what the hell is this behavior, @github is not responding on associated mail (for approx 1 month and till now) and replayed on other mail in a day.

If your account has been flagged on a platform or website, it's important to follow the platform's guidelines and policies to address the issue. Here are some general steps you can take:

1. Review the Reason for Flagging:

   • Check if there is any specific reason provided for why your account has been flagged. Look for notifications or messages that might explain the situation.

2. Read the Platform's Terms of Service:

   • Familiarize yourself with the terms of service or community guidelines of the platform. This will help you understand what actions may have led to the flagging of your account.

3. Contact Support:

   • If you believe your account was flagged in error or you are unsure why it was flagged, reach out to the platform's customer support or help center. They can provide clarification and assistance in resolving the issue.

4. Comply with Platform Policies:

   • If the flagging is related to a policy violation, take steps to correct the issue. This may involve deleting specific content, adjusting your behavior, or making necessary changes to your account.

5. Appeal Process:

   • Some platforms have an appeal process for flagged accounts. If available, use this process to explain your situation and request a review of the flagging.

6. Secure Your Account:

   • Ensure that your account is secure by changing your password and enabling two-factor authentication if the platform offers this feature. This can help prevent unauthorized access.

7. Be Patient:

   • Depending on the platform, it may take some time to resolve the flagging issue. Be patient and continue to follow the platform's guidelines while waiting for a response from support.

8. Learn and Improve:

   • Use this experience as an opportunity to learn about the platform's rules and policies. Make an effort to understand how to use the platform in compliance with its guidelines moving forward.

Remember that each platform may have its own specific procedures for addressing flagged accounts, so it's essential to refer to their guidelines and seek assistance directly from their support channels.

If you're unsure about the reason for the flagging or need specific guidance related to a particular platform, it's best to contact their support team for assistance. They can provide you with the most accurate information and help you resolve the issue effectively.

Until now I have not received any substantive communication from GitHub for over two months.

This lack of response and transparency raises serious concerns about the reliability and integrity of GitHub's security and flagging systems. It appears these systems may be compromised, as they have not functioned properly in handling my case. This situation is not only frustrating but also significantly disrupts my ability to conduct my normal work activities.

I am disappointed with the unprofessional handling of my case by GitHub, particularly given the lack of support and communication. It is crucial for platforms like GitHub to maintain a responsive and efficient support system to uphold user trust and ensure the security of their accounts.

Best regards,
Paulo

You open that in a new discussion, not an unrelated discussion. Therefore everyone will ignore this comment.

I'm also unfortunately flagged

[KiaQuest]

Github says me to come here for solution (my acc get marked too) so now where is the solution ? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
all ppl here have a problem just as like as me 😂😂😂
and github support email not work 😂😂

what a joke system ...

[paulospx]

I have the same issue here.
extremely frustrating.

[hum4noidx]

The same thing happened to me, I sent an appeal and a request to the support service, but there is no response yet

[AbdulazizDXT]

The solution is to beg them, unfortunately, if your account is important, and also you should not have violated anything, or if you violated, I apologize to them and tell them I did not mean it, and I am sorry, and there is no one to help me except you, and most likely the mark will be removed

[hum4noidx]

In order to beg them, I need to at least get some kind of answer. I was flagged for trade control sanctions violation, but the joke is that I did not leave my country and did not visit these regions...

I received such a letter:

It appears your account may be based in a U.S.-sanctioned region. As a result, we are unable to provide private repository services and paid services for your account. GitHub has preserved, however, your access to certain free services for public repositories. If your account has been flagged in error, and you are not located in or resident in a sanctioned region, please file an appeal. Please read about GitHub and Trade Controls for more information.

[chomeso3o]

[kunmifab]

I got this message when i changed my password and tried to connect my GitHub account to my code editor "You are marked as spam, and therefore cannot authorize a third party application.". What could be the reason and how do i get it unflagged. My team members are not seeing my PR also.

[KiaQuest]

[paulospx]

Looking at the numerous users, including myself, which suggests potential issues with GitHub's flagging system. This could indicate either a malfunction within the system or, more concerning, misuse of the flagging process.

Given the critical nature of this issue, I expect a higher level of professionalism and promptness from GitHub in handling such cases. It is vital for GitHub to address these concerns swiftly to maintain user trust and ensure the integrity of its platform.

Regards,
Paulo

Who can help me? My account has also been flagged, and I have submitted a ticket, but there has been no response for two weeks. What should I do?

[paulospx]

How can this be marked as 'answered', if the support team themselves are unreachable and unresponsive, that's a whole different story - a complete and utter failure of the system. You can't just mark something as 'answered' and then ignore the people who are still struggling with the issue, that's not how you build trust or provide good customer service.
