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.

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

Please feel free to Contact GitHub Support if you have any questions.

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.

Christ, they track forks? I'm wondering if they wouldn't have known if you had manually pushed to a virgin repo.
