Request for Review of Bounty Ban

Hello,

My name is ilyassbreth. I discovered that my account has been banned from participating in bounties due to alleged AI usage.

I would like to state clearly and unequivocally that I did not use AI in any part of my submissions. The ban is therefore unjustified and does not reflect the integrity of my work.

I respectfully request a thorough review of my case and the reinstatement of my access to bounties. I am confident that a proper evaluation will confirm my compliance with the platform’s rules.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Best regards,
ilyassbreth

Hello,

I performed the bounty ban. I noticed you have since edited your message, but I had seen that it included several pieces of outdated and incorrect information:

- You mentioned that health checks require IPv6. This is false.

- You stated that users can switch back to the legacy runtime. This is also false, as that option was removed several months ago.

- You indicated that IPv6 for health checks was a change in the v2 runtime. This is not the case. That behavior has not changed between the legacy and v2 runtimes; health checks require IPv4.

- You referenced an environment variable specific to a particular tech stack without knowing what tech stack the user was running.

These all appear to be hallucinated statements. Could you please shed some light on this for me?

Best,

Brody

hello brody,

i appreciate you taking the time to explain this. you're right that the information was incorrect but i still say i didn't use ai

to be transparent about what happened i was researching online trying to find the most current solutions for railway 502 errors. i came across various forum posts and discussions that mentioned ipv6 issues, v2 runtime differences, and the hostname variable. in my rush to help and provide value, i mixed up outdated information with current practices and didn't properly verify everything against the official docs before posting

i've recently lost my job as a software engineer and have been trying to help people on railway to both make some money through bounties and contribute to the community. because of this, i've been trying to help multiple people quickly across different threads, and in this case, i clearly didn't do my due diligence in verifying the information was accurate and current

that's completely my fault. i should have stuck to what i know for certain or taken the time to verify everything properly in the official railway documentation before posting

i understand the concerns about the quality of information, and i commit to only posting answers going forward that i can personally verify through official railway docs or my own direct experience.

i appreciate your time and understand whatever decision you make

best regards,

ilyassbreth

To be transparent, I never intended on keeping you banned, so I apologize for that. This was more of a way to open a conversation with you about that help message.

Myself and the team see all the help you have been providing, and we greatly appreciate it. However, we do need to keep quality standards up, and providing incorrect or outdated information hurts that effort and causes confusion for both the OP and any future readers.

Thank you for understanding. I have gone ahead and unbanned you, but please do keep an eye on the information you provide going forward.

Best,

Brody
