I'm reaching out to the HN community because I've just lost something that can't be recreated: my entire GitHub history since I was 14 years old.<p>What happened?<p>My account was permanently banned without warning. After fighting through support tickets, the suspected culprit is a chargeback related to GitHub Copilot that occurred during a fraud dispute on my credit card.<p>When fraudulent charges were reversed, GitHub Copilot charges apparently went with them – and GitHub's automated system interpreted this as intentional fraud.<p>I started in infosec at 14 – hacking, building tools, contributing to open source on GitHub. As a teenager, I contributed work that was featured at DEFCON. I'm still early in my career, and I've been banking on something crucial: that real, tangible contributions to open-source projects would speak louder than any resume ever could. Those contributions were my resume. They were proof of work – thousands of commits, security tools, pull requests, issues, and collaborations that showed what I could actually build and how I work with others.
All of that is now gone (unless you count the BigQuery archives...) Not suspended. Just... inaccessible.<p>The broader issue: For young developers and security researchers like me, GitHub contributions are our professional credibility. We don't have decades of corporate experience or impressive job titles. We have public code, meaningful contributions, security research, and a history of shipping. When that disappears overnight due to a banking mishap during a fraud dispute, it's devestating.<p>A fraudulent charge triggered a card cancellation
In the dispute process, legitimate charges (including GitHub Copilot) were reversed
GitHub's system flagged this as abuse and permanently banned the account
No warning. No appeal process. No way to distinguish fraud victims from bad actors.<p>If anyone has connections at GitHub who can review this with human judgment, please reach out. I am desperate for a 2nd chance.
If you've successfully navigated a similar situation, let me know.<p>I understand platforms need to combat fraud, but there has to be room for nuance. A mistaken reversal during a legitimate fraud dispute shouldn't permanently erase years of work. I'm ready to immediately settle any disputed charges and provide whatever documentation is needed – but I can't even get to a human who can evaluate the situation.<p>How You Can Help<p>If anyone has connections at GitHub who can review this with human judgment, please reach out.
