Default Trackback wordpress spam killing you?

Hey guys,

been getting a lot of trackback, pingbacks comments
spam to my blog lately. I do use Akismet to catch most
of the spam coming to my blog it seems with older post
it's very easy to use to spam for some reason I really
don't know why but it is.

Anyway while on my morning browsing I saw this little
plugin that help deals with trackback and pingback
comments spamon older post...

Her it is check it out:
Auto-Close-Comments-Pingbacks-And-Trackbacks

Hope it helps

--David

TEst it and come back with the results.

By the way, are you heavily involved into blogging -- what blogs do you run?

The problem with things like Akismet etc is it does not stop spam but simply tags it which means it is still on your server till it gets deleted.

A much better way to deal with spam is to simply use a plugin that puts a capture form under your comments making it very hard for robots and spammers to post. Most spam comes from robots so this will stop them.
