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 as a simple way to keep the spammers from getting these onto your site without you first approving them.
Note: This does not do anything for all of the old trackbacks/pingbacks that have already been added to your site.

Note that a couple of researchers at Rice University have released a Trackback spam blocker plugin for WordPress: their Trackback Validator Plugin checks to make sure that the sites which send you Trackback pings really do link to you, a test that most Trackback spammers fail.

That’s a great idea for a plugin, but it has a MAJOR flaw. Most trackbacks do not have a link in the original post. Those would be pingbacks, which are a different beast.

[…] Primero empezaron a llenarnos los comentarios con cantidad desmesurada de spam, luego aparecieron plugins para poder evitarlos y ni que mencionar la iniciativa de google con el nofollow. Ahora nuestros “amigos” de los casinos y poker, se las ingeniaron por atacar de spam nuestros trackbacks. No se ustedes, pero diariamente recibo en el sistema, una cantidad numerosa de trackbacks con la publicidad de estos casinos y pokers. Y realmente ya me estoy cansando de estar borrando y borrando diariamente lo mismo. He estado revisando blogs y foros y he notado que este problema solo se da en blogs bajo el sistema de WordPress. Como podrÃamos darle solución a esto? Deshabilitar el uso de trackback serÃa una solución extrema e innecesaria. SerÃa como si tuvieses un error en tu PC y de frente a formatearla. Buscando por la red, he encontrado un par de plugins creados por MtDewVirus. Estos permiten la moderación tanto de los trackbacks y pingbacks. […]
