What I've done now is to disable "Should the user IP addresses be checked against the StopForumSpam database?" - maybe that helps.
Yes, we are using CloudFlare.
You can ask cloudfare if they have a method to pass the true ip (user ip in a reliable fashion in a header; this has to be a feature of the cdn to ensure that spammer doesn't fake the ip); if they do then you would have to check if mybb has a method to use that ip. As it is right now the software is seeing a connection from the cdn which is accessed by many end users.
