Description

FYI: GitHub flagged my account because the proof of my GitHub profile via a gist goes against their Terms of Service.

The support wrote:

> ...
The account had restrictions imposed because it appears to have been used for the purpose of taking part in incentivized activity by way of adding spammy or incentivized Gist to the profile, which goes against our Terms of Service.

I don't know if you can solve this issue. I'll not try to proof my GitHub again but I thought it would be helpful for you to know that this issue exist.
