GitHub forbade our China Dictatorship auto-reply bot, the reason given is because they forbid comment reply bots in general. Though it was cool to see a junior support staff person giving out what obviously triggered the action:before a more senior one took over.
We've received a large volume of complaints from other users indicating that the comments and issues are unrelated to the projects they were working on.
Ciro was slightly saddened but not totally surprized by the bloodbath against him on the Reddit the threads he created:
- www.reddit.com/r/github/comments/1g7acv6/github_forbade_me_from_running_a_bot_that_would/ deleted by admins becausewhich is stupid, obviously we should be able to discuss GitHub policies in that sub.
We don't work for GitHub and we can't help you with your GitHub support problems. You'll just need to be patient.
Also good highlight to user whoShotMyCowReply:Has GitHub also forbidden you from, say, getting a job

Can't hate on the grind but I think you should also consider psychiatric helpMany successful people are neurodiverse comes to mind.
- www.reddit.com/r/China/comments/1g7aa6k/american_programming_website_github_forbade_me/: also deleted without reason
So we observe once again the stupidity of deletionism towards anything that is considered controversial. The West is discussion fatigued, and would rather delete discussion than have it.
We also se people against you having freedom to moderate your own repositories as you like it, with bots or otherwise. Giving up freedoms for nothing, because "bot is evil".
