And what if github support closes all your tickets and doesn't provide any reason for it? |

Hi, 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. |

As someone who has recently experienced the same problem, I recommend you to create a ticket to GitHub support respectfully and describe the incident in detail. They will help you to solve the problem as soon as possible. |

Our account was suspended on 01-Feb-24 without any warning. We created a support ticket and got it unblocked. However, now it shows as flagged. As a result, we can not invite new users to the repositories nor deploy anything through Github actions. We have been following up with Github Support team from last 4 days but there is no response. It is utmost irresponsible step from Github. |

A month after the account was blocked, I decided to upgrade it to Pro and after that I wrote to the support service again and within a week I received a response and my account was unblocked, it turns out that the owners of Pro accounts are a priority for the support service. |

A friend of mine had the same issue with a flagged account and GitHub insisted that he is using multiple Accounts even if he only has a roomate which is using an additional GitHub account via the same DSL landline. The support insistet that the account content is kept hidden/flagged so he decided to "rage quit" and delete his account (which is understandable if GitHub is breaking accounts at will / out of the blue without some one can do something about it :-(). I created a ticket on his behalf (because he didn't have an account anymore) and received the following after around (1-2 months!!!):
He is now trying to get this solved via tickets since around 4 months and created multiple tickets (as the previous haven't been answered / he can't check the ticket status without an account) without any luck. It seems that there is just no interest by GitHub to restore the existing data to not break content on their platform :-( The "for a limited time" time frame is probably now gone already (remember, for my initial Ticket GitHub took around 1-2 months to respond!!!). Consequences are now that there are so many contributions from him to projects which have completely vanished due to GitHubs bad behavior like e.g.:
I really don't understand:
and this whole topic is really a shame for GitHub. Notes:

They won't unflag your account, I got this mail. While we understand your concern, we are not able to bend our policy to accommodate your request. The account in question will remain flagged indefinitely. Any future contact about the restrictions may be closed without response. |

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. |

Unfortunately, my account is flagged because of malicious software, and I also have more than one account. In fact, I do not have one of them. I have useful projects, and this is my second new account. My first account in 4 years is missing unfortunately. |
