GitHub Account Banned Over Aggressive AI Agent PRs
Vjeux · x · 2026-07-18
A developer had their GitHub account suspended after using an AI agent to submit pull requests across their own repositories. They argued that since the PRs were submitted to their own repos and accepted, it shouldn't be classified as spam, suggesting instead that GitHub's spam detector might need some tuning. The original poster also reached out for contacts at GitHub to help resolve the issue.
