Account stuck in 'Spammy' limbo for 2 months - GitHub support is not responding #181517
-
Select Topic AreaQuestion BodyMy friend's account has been in limbo for almost 2 months and GitHub support has gone silent. Timeline (not very accurate):
Current situation:
He's a 16-year-old student. His security log shows GitHub's own automated system deleted topics from his repositories (and likely the whole repos) after the suspension, not any attacker. He reported this and got ghosted. The account can log in but is publicly suspended with a "Spammy" flag. It's been almost 2 months of this nightmare. Has anyone else dealt with being stuck in "Spammy" status? How do you actually get GitHub support to respond after they partially reinstate an account but leave it broken?

Only GitHub Support can assist with account suspensions, spam flags, and account restoration issues. Community members and moderators do not have access to support tickets or account details. Please continue to work through your existing support ticket (#3871213). Creating additional tickets will typically be merged as duplicates and will not expedite the review process. |
