Same Here!!! And I am unable to access my portfolio and university proejcts. No response from their team. |
when you got banned and you also got suspended because of vpn? |
|
Oct 23 and I just forked a repo and after 5-10 minutes or maybe 2-3 minutes, I got banned :) Why those repos are on github when we can't fork it :) |
|
Using a VPN or Cursor AI isn't necessarily a policy violation. GitHub should provide a clear explanation instead of generic responses. I'd recommend following up on your existing support ticket and requesting a manual review with a specific reason for the suspension. |
|
How did you even get a response about flagging for manual review? I can't get any kind of github support response after 3 weeks. |
|
I was also banned for no apparent reason and have yet to hear back from support. It is my main work account and all of my running projects are on there. I didnt do anything wrong. Someone who works at GitHub Please help! |
Uh oh!

Body
My GitHub account has been suspended, and I have contacted GitHub Support multiple times to request a review. However, I keep receiving the same generic response stating that my account was flagged for manual review.
I have not knowingly engaged in any abusive activity or intentionally violated GitHub's policies. I used a VPN while working on my projects and also use Cursor AI agents to assist with development tasks, including pushing code to repositories.
Despite replying to Support several times, I have not received a specific explanation of what triggered the suspension or an update on when the review might be completed.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation? I would appreciate guidance on the appropriate appeal process and how to obtain a clear explanation and final decision from GitHub Support.
