Once in a while I've had spammers cluttering up the comments in the blog. Usually they get deleted whenever I log on and check on the site. Now I've gone and installed Pivot-Blacklist, a fantastic spamkilling extension for the Pivot CMS. For now, all comments are enabled with an anti-bot question field. The question might look idiotically simple to you (and would be changed periodically), but all automatic blog comment spamming bots wont be able to answer it.

There are other features to Blacklist which I will experiment (and have fun with) with later.

Here's to a spam free blog in the future.

hi, great tool… very simple concept… but works great… do they have one version for wordpress?

Nay, Commander. As the name suggests, it’s for Pivot, which I’m finding to be quite a joy to use. Plus it’s generally easy to play around with the CSS and HTML templates.

For WP I recommend Elliott Back’s WP-HashCash. It’s core routines are also included as a Pivot-Blacklist feature. It’s ultra strong!

Thanks Marco. So far Pivot-Blacklist has been working great.

daBoss: I did a Google search based on Marco’s lead. Here you go, man.
