jgrahamc is one of the most active HN users. He's in the top 20 on the "leaderboard". He has a good reputation. I'd hesitate to call this offer a scam.

That said, I don't think it's a good situation that this is the solution rather than a proper, documented position that people can work to.

Calling CTO of a big company who come to talk with us "scam" is very counter-productive. Some of CloudFlare bad sides are certainly by design and cannot be changed, but they can still change their default filtering policies in a way that will help open web greatly.
