FWIW, I agree GH shouldn’t have banned OP. But … I’m pretty sure they weren’t giving out access to control OP’s account through a standard SSO flow, as OP assumed. Massively more likely, OP just didn’t pay attention, and granted said access explicitly during an OAuth2 authorization code flow.
- BoorishBears 4y agoMy entire point is that they did explicitly grant the permissions and that if you see a dialog like this: https://i.stack.imgur.com/Iol8j.png https://i.stack.imgur.com/Iol8j.png And you're ready to hand over even the first 3 items there, you're not likely to assume or even notice that github stars about to get you knocked out of orbit. I know this is a place of hubris but it almost comes across as a strange lack of self-awareness that this many people actually think they'd have caught that.
