Ruh roh. Yeah I'm involved with several projects that I'd rather not trace back to my other identities, and I make a new GitHub account per job. Even if they start enforcing it I imagine it's quite hard for them to actually figure out what's all connected without amping up their identification schemes with mandatory phone numbers and etc. I guess we'll burn that bridge when we get to it.
Oh, they do.
I didn't clear my cookies/use a vpn to sign up for multiple accounts.
All registered accounts, including my main one, were locked. All secondary ones were shadowbanned. I had to message support to get restrictions on my main removed.
Did they actually unlock your account?
All the horror stories I've read about this sort of thing usually end in "I tried to contact support/submit an appeal but they told me to take a hike".
Yes, they unlocked one of them.
