It's a wrong comparison. I'm not saying that people that are abusing CF's services are not guilty.
> I mean, it was clear enough for the other OP to know they went against it.
The point is not about these specific cases(in the one I posted it's definitely user's fault, this one is more ambiguous) but how CF acts.
The automatic/human process inside CF that decided to "ban" doesn't know if users are aware or not. They just assume (as you) that's user's fault and proceed with the "ban". While, if I'm running a service for months or even years and no one complains, there are a lot of good reason to assume that I don't do anything wrong.
Imagine that you have a totally compliant service but, because of a bug in their detection mechanism, your service goes down, and it takes days or even weeks to clarify everything with them and bring it up again.
It's an insane "default".
I mean, for CF nothing changes if they give you an x days notice but for your business changes a lot and (as mentioned before) when you run 1/3 of internet it's not only about the TOS.
