I think the star farming is inside the 2nd permission, read and manage your repositories.
Applications such as Heroku in which you can host an application through GitHub require to read, access and edit the files in your repository. After all starring is just an action.
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agoagreed. I am just saying, if someone can abuse stars action and be banned for it, what "legitimate" usecase is there in the first place otherwise? So if this action was allowed by github, how is that a banable offense if someone gets overzealous with it?
- nigamanth 4y agoI don't think it is bannable. I feel like explicit permissions should be verified by GitHub, so that they know that the use case is called for.
