I imagine there’s more to this than disclosed.
- thisisweird 6y agoMight be this. https://dev.to/mscccc/hi-im-mike-coutermarsh https://dev.to/mscccc/hi-im-mike-coutermarsh See the comment. This intro post was old but OP’s comment was recent. That guy is a Github Staff. I am not sure though.
- elcomet 6y agoBtw, we can see a funny comment by the author in this article > Agreed they have the best support team I ever have seen!
- Yhippa 6y agoI read the article. What's fishy about this?
- jldugger 6y agoThat article was posted 10 days ago, on a US public holiday. Seems likely the previous owner only recently reported an account "theft" enabled by github's own support team and name reuse policy. This is exactly why account name reuse is such a bad idea.
- ocdtrekkie 6y agoThere's just a decent likelihood that in the past two weeks some sort of dispute has been made about this. Maybe the original owner contacted them, and they are trying to decide what to do about it? If there's a dispute on something that I don't know how to resolve, just disabling it until I get advice from a supervisor sounds like a good strategy to me.
