Now that I’ve gotten a handle on the comment spam taking over my blogs, I’m getting hit through other means. Trackbacks! I found a few hooks in the WP code that I can plug into, so tonight I plan to whip up a few plugins so that pingbacks and trackbacks can automatically be put into the moderation queue. At least that’s what I hope to accomplish.
I can’t really think of any other way to test on these two items. For comments, I don’t like using the moderation queue, but it doesn’t really matter all that much to me if a trackback or pingback doens’t appear on my blog for a few hours until I can let it go through. Maybe one of the great minds out there will come up with an idea, but this will at least be a temporary solution.

I’ve been getting Trackback spams on the blogs I host (quite a few!) for the last couple of days, and I would LOVE to use this plugin if you manage to whip one up. Would you mind letting me know? I’ll keep an eye out anyway.
Thanks!

WordPress Plugins: Trackback And Pingback Moderation
These two plugins basically do the same thing, but I wanted to keep them seperate. When you turn one on, it will automatically place either all NEW trackbacks or all NEW pingbacks (depending on the plugin) into the comment moderation queue. It’s meant…

Oh damm, I hate these Trackback Spams, but since I use SK2 I have no problems with that kind of spam.
