I believe that cloudflare should at least have some kind of form where users can make their ip trustworthy. They can still be suspected for a period of time and in case there is another sign of malicious behaviour then they can get banned for even longer. Just ignoring them and throwing infinite amounts of redirects and captchas seems like a terrible experience for normal users.

btw, you writing has such a dismissing, arrogant and undermining tone that I would downvote you if I could.
