Blocked from contest voting

What is the name of the domain?

What is the error number?

Cloudflare Ray ID: 94d01abf6ab03359

What is the error message?

This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. The action you just performed triggered the security solution. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data.

What is the issue you’re encountering

I’m blocked so I can’t contact thru the site to tell them. The site owners are running a contest where by people have to vote every single day until June 20 so every day I share the link for my image that I want my followers to vote on.

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

I found an old email to TRY to tell the site owner I’m blocked… but it’s kind of hard to let them know through their website if I can’t access their website so the email I found actually gets through to them.

Was the site working with SSL prior to adding it to Cloudflare?

Yes

What is the current SSL/TLS setting?

Off

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

I don’t own the website so a lot of this stuff doesn’t apply to me.

Screenshot of the error

Yep, neither does Cloudflare.

It’s the site’s owner who put that security protection that blocked you, and they’re the only ones who can unblock you.

Just as you can’t call a lock manufacturer for a spare key when you’re locked out of your office, Cloudflare – the security software vendor – cannot bypass the site owner’s configuration and unblock you.
