trackback

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)?
