As the title. I used to have an account named kevin_pan_940506. Months ago, I found that I couldn't login - I thought it could've been a short-time issue or so. But when I try to login again, it's the same with the "429 too many requests - please wait for 86460 seconds" error. Following my browser's history, the pages of my scripts disappeared. It looks as if my account was deleted.

I'd like to know what happened to my account and if there is any chance to rescue? I believe that I didn't violate any rules as far as I know. 🥲

There used to be one of that name.

Presuming that account was yours, yes that account holder did violate the TOS with Obfuscation. There were multiple attempts to contact that account holder (which technically aren't required with this type of TOS violation but completed none-the-less) and no response was returned within a reasonable period. The default action was applied.

Sorry for not responding since I failed to receive that notification due to reasons unknown. I really have no idea what's identified as obfuscation, too. But, guess my account is deleted and it's too late to say it, right? 🥲 Then, I want to ask:

• Is it possible to recreate an account with that username? That's a composition of ..., and I really like it.
• Can I reuse the old authentication way in my other new accounts? XiaoPanPanKevinPan on GitHub is a representation of me, but I'm afraid of getting banned again by reusing it.

Thanks for your help. And also thanks for y'all guys dedication with less-or-none rewards to providing a free and open-source place for userscript hosting. Sincerely.

Search my Comments under my account around mid July for the old username... and you'll see the reason here and the linkage back to where GH account was clearly notified. OUJS notifications one just has to pay attention atm but GH has email notifications and unread notifications for those. So there were clear notifications... again not required.

too late to say it, right?

Too late to save it is what I guess you mean. If so yes.

Is it possible to recreate an account with that username?

Probably but mitigation will include observance of the prior account activities under the same handle i.e. since there was a strike on the username it could affect a future mitigation of flags raised.

composition of ...

Please don't tell people personal information in public venues. Not a wise idea. Edited your post.

Can I reuse the old authentication way in my other new accounts?

I seem to recall that the specific authentication associated with the account is permanently banned but seem to recall username is not. No there won't be an exception made.

I'm afraid of getting banned again by reusing it.

That's what I said earlier here in this reply. It won't be in anyone's favor if things were previously flagged... however it will be investigated appropriately.

Long story short the account holder gets to start over from scratch due to the obfuscation.

Oops, really sorry for all of these mess I made, and thanks for your help. I'll recreate an account and start everything from scratch. 😓
