Hopefully this was a genuine error on GitHub's part and not a sign to come.

Probably a sign to come but somewhere else.
Another reason not to use GitHub.
Funny business, we need to get them to move to Codeberg
Can't wait for Codeberge to figure out federation on Activity Pub. Then other groups of people can host their own instance while we slowly move away from centralized repo hosts.
That is brilliant, I really wish they do it ASAP
Nah, codeberg is just another company, this could happen there just as it did on gh, granted it'll be less likely to happen there. They need to move to git platform controlled by them.
Codeberg is not a company tho? It's a non-profit driven community organization
Yeah, why not Codeberg?
Mmmm no? Seems it works

GitHub happened to backtrack about a minute after I posted it. Not that my submission had anything to do with that but I didn't doctor the image. I had a fork of that repo and the e-mail notification that my fork was blocked was sent a couple of hours ago but I don't check mails all the time. The backtracking happened to be in short succession of my submission by happenstance.
Christ, they track forks? I'm wondering if they wouldn't have known if you had manually pushed to a virgin repo.
Can you include the text of the email on the post for context? ❤️
Sure:
Access to the AdguardFilters repository has been disabled by GitHub staff due to a terms of service violation.
When making content moderation decisions, we consider information from a variety of sources, including: account profile data, information contained in submitted reports/notices or discovered through our own voluntarily initiated investigations, and context around the contents of the repository.
If you wish to regain access to the disabled content or would like to dispute that a violation occurred and can provide additional information to show that a different decision should have been reached, please review our Appeal and Reinstatement Policy and submit a request via our form.
You may review our terms of service here: GitHub's Terms of Service

Gotta love how no company ever tells you which part of the terms of service where violated
They do this on purpose, to avoid workarounds.
You've been arrested for breaking the law!
I mean, they don't tell you which part of ToS you violated because you may come up with some way to circumvent it.
Doesn't look that way from here?

Huh, reinstated. I don't think my submission on Lemmy did the trick but good that it's back.
