I have a repo setup where before a merge can occur into a branch it requires:

1. a Code Review
2. a Successful build of a pull request.

If I push a feature branch to my repo and create a PR that works fine, but IF the contributor fork the project and then created a PR the PR never triggers a build.

Has anyone ran into this type of issue before?

Could you give example links?

I suspect that the 2nd PR rather has some error that prevents a build.

Sure.

Usually I have the code execute a PR request. My .travis config is [here](https://github.com/GeekBeacon/geekbeacon-docs/blob/master/.travis.yml)

This is a different PR that has the usual check offs though it’s based on a feature branch from the same repo.

Any thoughts?

Interesting, what does “Abuse Detected” mean?

Exactly what it says on the tin (c). They use various heuristic checks that they obviously don’t divulge.

You can however guess possible reasons [from past topics](https://travis-ci.community/search?q=%22abuse%20detected%22).  
E.g. this one looks relevant:

> [@Some PR are not analyzed with message "Abuse detected"](https://travis-ci.community/t/some-pr-are-not-analyzed-with-message-abuse-detected/1191):
>
> On our project [https://travis-ci.org/Dolibarr/dolibarr/](https://travis-ci.org/Dolibarr/dolibarr/) , all PR of one of our contributor are not analyzed. They appeared with message Abuse detected in the page [https://travis-ci.org/Dolibarr/dolibarr/requests](https://travis-ci.org/Dolibarr/dolibarr/requests) Why ? How can i fix this ?
