Holy smokes, I’ve been hit!
\nMy comment spam ‘secret code’ filter is working like a charm – no spam in weeks, but now they’ve decided to spam through trackback. The other day I had two new trackback pings on older entries, both spam. This morning I had 135<\/b><\/i>, all spam. Yikes. So, later today I’ll be deleting away, but it will take a while. Just be aware – I do not endorse any online gambling sites (or whatever else may be there.) \ud83d\ude42
\nIn some ways these are less intrusive – they aren’t little adds for questionable things lurking in the comments of my posts. But they are certainly painful (you have to delete them one at a time) and I’m not sure what can be done about them. I’ve seen lots of strategies for dealing with comment <\/i>spam, but none that I remember for trackbacks. Any ideas?
\nUPDATE:<\/b> They’re still rolling in – 45 more while I was typing this. Argh. Anyone know how to globally turn off trackback in MT 2.661?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
