SpamBlocker

Spam Blocker is a CakePHP Behavior that automatically before after a comment is made. Each comment is tested upon a point system to determine if it should be approved, set to pending (high points), or marked as spam / deleted (low points).

	$return = '';

		for ($i = 0; $i <= $length; ++$i) {
