> I can see how GitHub wouldn't want a public repo to have objectionable words
I can't. Does GitHub really have nothing better to do than to play nanny cop because I used a naughty word in my code? Are brainfuck interpreters now off-limits? How about drivers for teledildonics hardware? Or libraries specifically for detecting and filtering swear words? Or maybe I just want to vent a bit in a comment every once in awhile because of some annoyance with the language or target platform or problem to be solved?
Fuck that and the horse it rode in on. We're all adults here (well, or possibly teenagers, but let's face it: they've probably already heard much worse at school).
If only we knew that 4 days ago when we first got banned, and not, well, 4 days later.
The issue is github works by report only.
You can do what ever you want in a github repo, but if you make a video game on github, and ban the wrong person, they can just go through your repo and look for ToS violations to troll you.
We are literally removing the in game chat word filter for the n word out of fear it could be used to git us banned again by somebody else mad their buggy pr got rejected or their character got banned in game for breaking the server rules

Not that this seems like the real reason why SS13 got nuked anyway; if GitHub really has some kind of anti-profanity rule, they're doing a real bang-up job of consistently enforcing it: https://github.com/search?q=shit / https://github.com/search?q=piss / https://github.com/search?q=fuck / https://github.com/search?q=cunt / https://github.com/search?q=cocksucker / https://github.com/search?q=motherfucker / https://github.com/search?q=tits
