GitHub suspended my account, and I couldn't submit a support ticket
I filled email and select the reason (Account locked: My account has been locked or suspended) in https://support.github.com/contact/cannot_sign_in then submit.
A few steps to create a ticket.
After I filled everything then click submit. It show "An unexpected error occurred (status: 401)". So I never created a support ticket.
I think maybe the reason why my account was suspended:
I asked Opus 5.5 (claude code) to ask a few vendors in PRs on my own repo whether they'd offer a perk to users. It looped gh pr comment and posted the same text on 3 PRs within seconds. On the 4th call: "Your account was suspended."
repo: milisp/mcp-linker
I guess Everything I login with github maybe lose if I don't use second login method.
Anyone can help?

Like if he was spamming other peoples repos programmatically, then, yes, I would agree he should not expect sympathy from the rest of us.
Not gonna die on this hill though; seemed like a pointless and somewhat odd thing for OP to do lol
This is were we disagree, I report anyone who does this. Do not abuse github for marketing. It does not matter if it is your own repo, when you ping other people in it, they still get the notifications.
It's a work platform for developers, not a place to drum up leads for people trying to make a quick buck or as a means to reach out to potential users for whatever reason. This also applies to scraping emails and sending spam to inboxes.
If it continues or gets worse, GitHub will fade. I appreciate their efforts to tame the hype beast and slop peddlers
I was working for a large company (name withheld to protect the guilty). Back in that day, everyone had a landline phone in their cube. One day mine wasn't working. But there was a team dedicated to fixing phone problems. All I had to do was submit a service request to them.
That's great, except that the only way to submit a service request was by phone. This was about 2007, so email was definitely a thing. But no, it had to be by phone, and my phone didn't work.
I wound up having to use the phone in someone else's cube to submit the fix request for the phone in my cube.
Can you do that? Can you use someone else's account to submit the request for your account? (Without getting their account locked or suspended?)
2. I successfully created a ticket in normal(not private) Safari mode without using other people’s accounts. Maybe GitHub cookie issue because private mode.

I tried Chrome and Safari private mode (401) failed, so maybe this is a GitHub cookie issue because.
Thank you for your attention.
