Developer says fake abuse reports keep blocking his site on Cloudflare

Original: Ask HN: Fake abuse reports keep auto-blocking my site on Cloudflare

A developer writing on Hacker News says his website keeps being automatically blocked by Cloudflare after what he describes as fraudulent abuse reports, and he is asking the community for help. The complaint has drawn attention to how easily automated trust-and-safety systems can be weaponised against small site operators, with readers likely debating Cloudflare's reporting safeguards and appeal process.

Why now: The claim that trivial fake reports can trigger automatic blocks on a major web infrastructure provider raises concerns about abuse of automated moderation systems.
