Usefulness of Trackbacks

Trackbacks are officially disabled. Props to those Drupal site admins who have diligently moderated trackback spam into oblivion, only to do it again…and again…and again…and again.

It’s a bit of hubris to expect to get a trackback to begin with - it’s just a podunk personal blog. The experiment of enabling them (about a month ago) was educational, however. There definitely are a gazillion zombie PCs out there, just watching the meta-aggregators, waiting for an opportunity to post trackback and comment spam.

If anyone running Drupal does read this, have you done the trackback enable/disable tango, or do you find it not a problem (if you have them enabled)?
