I was trying to login to NameSilo to check a few things, but it's looking like the site might be down. I don't recall getting a notification about scheduled downtime. Anyone else able to connect?

As others have suggested, take time to learn more about investing in domain names, and/or ask general questions before purchasing. I say ask "general" questions because you probably don't want to reveal the domain(s) you're interested in...
Whenever the term "troll" comes up, this always comes to mind:
I think the term carries a different connotation these days (thanks to certain video games), but it always makes me chuckle a little when I think about it.
RE: Cloudflare -- that probably wouldn't happen unless you're on one of their top tier subscriptions. And even if they or a third party did, that's no guarantee to change anyone's mind or of getting an account restored if proven and submitted...
I'll simply say this: I believe you, and thanks for sharing your experience. Sorry you didn't get your payout. The timing of your account being closed--as well as the explanation given from the company--were indeed Interesting AF.
