Trackback spam

I know we've discussed this before, but the sea of trackback spam is getting overwhelming. Is there some MT forum we can get onto to ask if there is an easy way to shut off trackback after (say) 1 month? I remember in the last discussion it had to be an all or nothing decision so if anyone objects they should say so now. I think a one month cut-off is enough, and while you may miss some links to the gems in your archives, it's a small price to pay. My count this morning was 72 trackbacks spams...and that's just from the weekend! I don't have the time nor patience to deal with it en masse.

By the way, do NOT buy diamond rings from Ideal Cut diamonds. Just saying.

1 They've been real shits the last few days.

Remember, always blacklist the buggers - then I can do a sweep across all the blogs and wipe them out in one go.

If everyone's happy, I will set things up so that trackbacks close after a month.

2 I do, but I suppose prevention is better than cure, and this closing off should eliminate the vast majority of the stuff.

3 Trackback closing - Yay!
Comment closing - Nay!

4 The comment closing can be done on a blog by blog basis- I've already got the code in my template. It's the trackbacks I have no control over.

5 Yeah, I worked out a SQL query to do it. I think. I'll have to experiment a little, but it's not really that hard.

9 Finally, in the event that you are driving your canine friend to its destination, then a simple carrier will most likely be sufficient.
