Why would cloudflare be the company to do this?
Didn't Cloudflare take that stance prior as well?
Cloudflare is the one blocking a user based on things that aren't their fault; I'm happy to blame them.
More proof Cloudflare is a pariah
Cloudflare seems to have provided a service that fixes a lot of the issues you mentioned, so I'm not sure why you're mad at Cloudflare for making the best of this bad situation.
How is it accurate? Who's to say that Cloudflare can't do much about it?
I lost all respect for Cloudflare
It's a problem, but it's not a problem cloudflare should touch with a ten foot pole
Cloudflare isn't "stepping in". Anyone can sign up for Cloudflare. So you're asking Cloudflare to explicitly step in and strip protection from a particular website against their policies of basically non-interference, presumably to enable a DDoS attack to succeed.
Cloudflare provides products that protect against malicious requests. They don't help craft those requests, and they don't flood traffic to websites that aren't using their product. It's not a racket.
