Trackback spam hits

Posted February 1st, 2005. Filed under Serendipity

Stupid spam companies have started using trackback spam.

I got about 120 trackbacks with links to a casino. All trackbacks were auto-moderated by the spamblock plugin which meant they weren’t displayed to any users. So all-in-all it didn’t really do anything, becides forcing me to clean up.

Deleting them through the comment manager took less than 30 seconds, using the mass-delete feature.

I personally don’t really mind, but we’ll see if we can figure out a way to detect these bastards, but it’s hard when you can’t subject them to captcha approval.

  1. Heute morgen ab 7:13 hat mich, wie auch viele andere weblogger, eine Lawine von Trackback-SPAM erreicht.

    Das ist die neueste Form von SPAM und seit ich Trackbacks kenne, befürchtete ich, dass irgendwann auch die Spammer davon Wind kriegen müssen würden
