Well the last few days anyway. But every now and again it comes up still.
I just find it to be a bandaid fix of sorts. Sure it claims to be good against things beyond spammers.
But i wonder. If a site was not being spammed then would they still run this?
Never personally used it on my sites. Never needed to so cant judge any more than from the user level.
And at the user level it stinks of smelly smelly stuff.
Additionally i think some people should check this site out.

First link i checked regarding reviews of the product.
Not a great review i have to say honestly.
To summerise what the above link says...
Strange how it comes or goes, I would have thought that you've either flagged or you're weren't, but it does seem to be a little sketchy about it's logic at times.
I did a Google search for pictures of the page and some of them say that the screen appears because of a certain word of phrase in the PM or POST, maybe that explains the erratic behaviour?
On the CloudFlare settings there is an option to turn the Captcha settings up or down, either to be more or less aggressive if needed. If you thought that this was a buggy feature of CloudFlare then you could set the filter on 'Low' or just disable it completely.

Definitely! The reason I speak so highly of CloudFlare is because I run some pretty heavy duty software on my web server, one of the biggest being Magento eCommerce. With CloudFlares caching it takes the 4-6 second load times and brings them down to around 1-2, for this I believe that CloudFlare is priceless.
From a web master perspective it's great.

I'd highly recommend you sign up a free account and give it a go, you've got nothing to lose and i'm sure that you will be pleasantly surprised with the speed boost. And as I said before, if the Captcha system is still giving you grief, it's easily disabled.
I'm not sure what to say to that review, other than it's a completely different experience than i've been having.
