Hi @BOTMASTER350,

I’m sorry to hear about your account suspension. While I’m just a community member, here’s what you can do to resolve the issue and potentially regain access to your account:

Steps to Address a Suspended Account

1. Check Your Email

   • GitHub typically sends an email to the registered address explaining the reason for the suspension. Make sure to check your inbox (and spam folder) for any communication from GitHub Support.

2. Contact GitHub Support

   • Go to the GitHub Support page and submit a ticket under the "Account Recovery" or "Account Suspension" category. Provide as much information as possible:
     • Your account username (BOTMASTER350).
     • The email associated with the account.
     • Any actions you took before the suspension.

3. Understand Common Suspension Reasons

   • Suspensions often happen due to:
     • Violating GitHub’s Terms of Service.
     • Spamming, abusive behavior, or hosting malicious content.
     • Excessive resource usage (e.g., automated bots/scripts).

4. Stay Patient

   • GitHub’s support team may take a few days to respond. Ensure you follow up politely if you don’t hear back in a reasonable timeframe.

5. Prevent Future Suspensions

   • Once your account is restored, review GitHub’s Community Guidelines to avoid unintentional violations.
