@Tristan, adding you here since you have responded to similar problems of other users in the past.
Following is the email I sent to the support via the official channels, and I haven’t gotten any useful responses, yet, except for the template responses like “we’ve received your request; have you tried resetting 2FA codes?”.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
Email to support follows:
Dear Support folks,
It looks like I may have inadvertently violated some terms of use of Gitlab.com, I’m not sure. Or someone may have tried to take over my account and repeated login failures may have locked the account; again, not sure since the error message does not provide any details. Please let me know how I can reinstate my access to the account, and what I can do to prevent this from happening again.
Couple of alternate reasons I can think of may be that I have slowly started migrating my repos from Github.com to Gitlab.com, so I usually clone those repos into Gitlab. Or it may be that I have a few of my repos using Gitlab Pages feature with some slightly advanced usage. Or my use of Gitlab-CI may have been an issue, but those are pretty simple jobs, so I don’t think that could be the reason.
When trying to push to a repo of mine I received the error message “Your account has been blocked” (see [1]), and when trying to log into the gitlab.com website I get the error message “Your account has been blocked. Please contact your GitLab administrator if you think this is an error”.
My user id is ‘gurjeet’ and the associated email email address is gurjeet@singh.im. Please feel free to reach out to me at that address or at singh.gurjeet@gmail.com.
