      Hi Antiono, except the title and the last subtitle, all the other subtitles are not consistently in the APA style.                                                            Besides, remove all bold characters and replaced same with the usual type face.                                                    Seriously, I agreed with  Alicia and others. Remove links. And modified the comments. Your grammar, punctuations, and English is good. Thanks.

   Hi. You should remove the link to your friend’s website because it’s promoting his business. We aren’t allowed to do that on HubPages.
   
   You should also delete the link to GitHub or at least say more about the unofficial blacklist that it provides. I assume you've used the list. What do you think of it? How well does it work? What are its advantages and drawbacks? The creator of the list seems to have good intentions, but they say that "there is a chance that the blacklist will “overclean” your comment queue. Consider that fair warning.”
   
   I don’t think you should tell readers to feel free to “experiment” with the blacklist without giving more information about it and providing a warning, especially after you’ve just told readers that some keywords may block something important.

      Hi Alicia, thanks for your comments. I assumed that some attribution is required for the idea provided be the expert. I will add some comments regarding my experience with the GitHub blacklist. It is a fair comment. Thanks again.

         Personally, I think such lists are contentious in nature. I don't doubt the objectivity of your comments or experience, But HP might be uncomfortable encouraging such content, because it might be seen as an endorsement.
         
         Also, HP generally prefers a less informal style of writing. (By my experience)
