Wrongful "Cyber Abuse" Deactivation Wave - Requesting Human Escalation (Case ID: C-b8SvaFvhcXqa)

OpenAI Developer Community July 3, 2026

Hello everyone and OpenAI team,

I am posting here because I became a victim of the recent automated false-positive ban wave and my account was deactivated for alleged “Cyber Abuse”.

My automated appeal on the website was instantly rejected within 10 minutes by a bot (Case ID: C-b8SvaFvhcXqa), leaving me with absolutely no way to reach human oversight through the regular support channels.

Account details:

  • User ID: user-6R3SQmE5rzyl32nPRbiEEKvj

I have used this account for years via a dedicated static IP address. I strictly utilize the official Codex CLI and Hermes framework for standard DevOps administration, configuring basic files, and content creation. I have 2FA enabled and have never shared my credentials.

It’s clear that the automated security classifier mistook benign system configuration scripts for malicious activity. Could a community manager or staff member please escalate this case to the specialized engineering team for a manual override? Years of my critical work history are currently locked due to a system glitch.

Thank you.
