Like, do they not worry about people just editing everything and inserting porn or something? I doubt that they were smart enough to use branch protection. To be fair, when you're sending a mass spam campaign, you already don't worry about your reputation anyway lol
(The attached images: part 1: @QuantEssential-io has invited you to collaborate on the QuantEssential-io/Quant-Interview-Prep-2024 repository part 2: GitHub 404 showing the entire organization has been banned)

The whole dongml thing back in 2011
Reading the context of the YC post (post link is broken), this doesn’t seem like a thing I’d brag about. Sounds like you were just being kind of an asshole, as well as intolerant. There are more amusing and less trollish ways to white/greyhat platforms to encourage people to fix them.
Yep I was trolling zed.
However, accusations of homophobia and sexism are dumb and unfounded, as I’m actually gay.
I was also 20 so… find me one person who didn’t do cringy shit as a kid and I’ll give you a million dollars.
spambot has invited you to collaborate on we-had-a-baby-its-a-boy
I once had a spambot @ me and like 100 other people I didn't know on a repo I'd never touched before.
I reported it for spam and got an email from Github Support within an hour notifying me that they had taken action.
I remember that time some guy pinged nearly 40k people and single-handedly delayed GitHub's email servers by about 4.18 hours
