Turning off pings

I know a while back we found a MT way to turn off comments after a certain number of days.

Is there a similar way to turnoff trackbacks after "X" days? Trackback spam is killing me.

1 No, there doesn't seem to be.

And ConversationKiller (which I installed a while back) seems to have croaked.

I'm going to run some experiments - a single SQL query should be able to do the trick for the whole of munu.

2 Pixy:

MT-Close2 will do this, and on a universal or blog by blog basis. It is also reversible.

3 Hmm.

Oh yes, we tried that, but it gave all the users access to close/open comments on every blog. I'll see if there's an update or some way to fiddle with it.

5 Rilly rilly slow. It's still going. (Tested it on the old MT2 Ambient Irony.)

I did the same thing using SQL and it took 1.4 seconds.
