My account is restricted. How can I solve restirction?

Hello,

My account is restricted. I remember, I published the code on my github. So I changed it to private.
Could you please reactivate my account?

I'm not a mod or anyone of importance, and I'm not sure what your account was restricted for, but typically to appeal restrictions/bans/suspensions you need to email info@codewars.com and describe your case (including your codewars username). If you want, you can join the codewars discord server and use the #contact-mods channel and maybe one of the mods will let you know why your account was restricted, although the official channel is to go through the email address.

BobtheLantern is right, this isn't something anyone in the GitHub discussions can fix. Codewars staff handle restrictions and they don't monitor this repo for support cases.

Two things to try:

Email info@codewars.com with your username, the approximate date you got restricted, and what you think triggered it (in your case, the public solutions repo). Be straightforward, mention you've already made the repo private and that you understand publishing solutions goes against the honor code. Short and direct gets handled faster than a long appeal.

If the email doesn't get a reply within a few days, hop on the Codewars Discord and post in #contact-mods with the same info. Mods read that channel regularly.

One thing worth knowing for next time, even after you set a public solutions repo to private, the GitHub commits stay indexed by search engines for a while. The detection that catches solution repos usually flags them off Google results, so making it private after the fact doesn't always undo the trigger. Mention this in your appeal so it doesn't look like you're hiding evidence, just owning the mistake.
