This post has been reported, what's the verdict?

+1

IMO the post is against the charter and should be removed.

It's OK to make a case against the content of somebody's post, but's it's not OK to reply by just being rude.

Cloudflare
Cloudflare never send "HTTP 403 Forbidden" response via fully functional TCP/IP connect to port 80. It works on lower level.
"403 Forbidden" doesn't protect from DoS, it is done via .htaccess (for Apache; or similar config for other http servers)
