Marco has written a fabulous extension. It is the comment-spam block list for Pivot.
Right now it is still in beta (v0.5) , but what a product it is!

If you are plagued by comment spam on your weblog, (and you are running Pivot), then this product is for you.
You can grab a copy of the blocklist, here and if you then follow these directions you should be able to install it.

1) First make sure that you are running Pivot 1.20
2) In Pivot, go to Administration->Configuration and enter a name for the extensions dir. Enter ‘extensions/’ and save your settings. If you already have an ‘extensions’ dir, skip this one and go to number 3.
3) Unpack the blacklist zip package.
4) Copy the blacklist/ directory to this extensions directory and chmod it to 755.
5) chmod 755 blacklist/settings

chmod 666 blacklist/settings/*
6) edit submit.php in your pivot dir and add the following line:

require_once(’../extensions/blacklist/blacklist.php’);
7) Surf to http://your.site.com/weblogdir/extensions/blacklist/ to log in

to the blacklist admin panel. You can use any login that has ADMIN

on your blog.

I use the blacklist and it worked fantastic!! Until today. Today my blog got filled with spam… any idea’s how to solve??

This is generally not the place to solve problems, but my suggestion is to update the blacklist file, and if that doesn’t help, either use another way of blocking spam (which are all build in the blacklist) or adding (parts of) the offending urls in your personal blacklist…
log in to your blacklist administration and click on ‘blacklist editor’.

@ MadJo: I even forgot I posted it here… already had contact with iMarco himself. He helped me out and the problems are solved. Sorry I abused the reply function here to post my problem.

The personal loans are essential for people, which want to ground their own career. By the way, it’s not really hard to get a auto loan.
