Space flagged as abusive by mistake

Beginners

Hi,

My Space sunsc0rch/pentester-run-place has been automatically flagged as abusive and is now in a paused state that I cannot restart.

What the Space is: It’s an educational catalog of cybersecurity and penetration
testing tools — think of it as a curated directory (name, description, installation
instructions, GitHub links) for open-source security research tools. No exploits, no
malicious code, just a reference catalog aimed at security professionals and
students.

Why it was likely flagged: During a recent deploy I included translated README content
for ~270 tools directly in a Python seed file (sc_seed.py). The READMEs naturally
contain security-related terminology (exploits, payloads, vulnerabilities, etc.) which
may have triggered the automated content filter. I have already removed the auto-run
of that file from the container startup to prevent future resource spikes.

What I’m asking: Please review the Space and restore it. I’m happy to make any changes needed to comply with HF policies.

Thank you, that’s very helpful! The runtime API output indeed confirms
“errorMessage”: “Flagged as abusive” — so it’s clearly a HF-side flag, not an
app issue. I’ll send the runtime API output to website@huggingface.co as you
suggested. Appreciate the detailed breakdown.
