Sounds correct to me
> Please take further action. My email is public with the expectation that the ToS will be enforced.
What magic wand are you expecting they wave that distinguishes people who need your email address for legitimate from those who need it for illicit purposes? Why wouldn't we apply the same to the entire population and lock up criminals before they've committed crimes?
What you're asking is entirely impossible short of mandatory mind reading
I provided a spam email chain from a user with a linked GitHub profile, stating that they obtained my email from my GitHub profile.
GP [martinwoodward] states:
> This type of behaviour is explicitly against the GitHub terms of service, when we catch the accounts doing this we can (and do) take action against those accounts including banning the accounts.
But action was not taken, there was no reply to my email to GitHub support.
