They…have an “add account” feature right in their UI though. They are obviously okay with multiple accounts. Perhaps it is an abuse thing like if they notice you sock puppeting or something.
That’s for if you have a personal account and one provided by your company.
In some cases, you may need to use multiple accounts on GitHub.com. For example, you may have a personal account for open source contributions, and your employer may also create and manage a user account for you within an enterprise.
I didn’t clear my cookies/use a vpn to sign up for multiple accounts.
All registered accounts, including my main one, were locked. All secondary ones were shadowbanned. I had to message support to get restrictions on my main removed.
All the horror stories I’ve read about this sort of thing usually end in “I tried to contact support/submit an appeal but they told me to take a hike”.

Here, I’m afraid. Third bullet. Whether or not they enforce it is another matter.
Sucks because I kinda might want to contribute some things to projects that I don’t want people to know professionally.
Or maybe I can just make my profile private and hope nobody goes looking too hard.

Did they actually unlock your account?

Yes, they unlocked one of them.
