Killing Trackback Spam
So I have had repeated issues with one site repeatedly sending mass trackbacks about a post of mine that they stole. Until now, askimet has been marking them as spam and I then manually delete them, but I am sick of clearing several of these per day. So I am trying out some plugins to fix this problem. The first wordpress plugin I am trying is WP-Spam-Free and it looks good. It was easy to install, seems fully featured, and claims to have some pretty advanced methods at detecting and blocking this stuff without interfering with worthwhile comments and trackbacks.
Anyways, stay tuned for an update on how well this works out.
