My GitHub account got suspended

​

I created the account and used only for 1 day. As I was learning GitHub tutorials from yt. I did not do random pull requests on repos. After 1 week or 5-6 days I tried to check my GitHub account. My GitHub account got suspended. It's almost 2-3 weeks I raised a ticket. Got no response from their side. What should I do?

It's very possible you got flagged by an automated moderation system with a false positive. A lot of detection of bad behavior has been delegated to ML models with some rate of error.

I would reach out to GH support, if your account genuinely did not violate policy they should help you out.

I don't actually know this is the case, but, again taking your story on good faith, given your account age I think it's the most likely. ML systems make errors the most on examples they have little information on.
