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. |

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 |

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. |

What worked for me: I was part of a GitHub organization, which paid for all of their members. I have the suspicion, that a GitHub-Pro subscription might improve the reaction time for support tickets, For me, as a consequence of all of this, I'm using different platforms and servers as a backup. |

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. |

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:

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. |

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. |

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. |

Unfortunately that doesn't help necessarily in some cases, at least for our case described previously they took a month or longer to respond and at some point the GitHub support just stopped to respond. |
