Good luck finding that post and linking it to the provider. That set aside, except for DDoS defense, we've run into no problems at all when talking very openly about how we operate. Seems naive at first glance, but we've had a good 10+ year run (so far!). Works for us, might not for others.

Delayed banning seems to work well for multiplayer game anti cheat systems (like VAC).

These problems are essentially the same, some of the know-how can be easily adapted between them.

No need to link it to the provider. If one provider does things that way, you want to block their method. (And, of course, the odds are overwhelming that the other providers are doing the same thing.)

It seems like a Whois search about the domain that's in your Hacker News profile yields lots of interesting information. Your previous comments seem to indicate that's a provider you work for. Maybe it's not related though. Or maybe it's just a way of doing PR. I know nothing.
