Allow Pingbacks & Trackbacks Unchecked but Still Getting Spam
They are usually a url (or many post urls) for their own site, with no actual comment.
My questions are:
1. These are spam, aren't they?
2. Does leaving the 'Allow Pingbacks and Trackbacks' unchecked just hold these pingbacks so I can moderate them? Is that how it's supposed to work?
3. How are people able to do this - are they just filling in the 'Name' and 'Website' text box of my Comment box with their urls and posting them without a message? Why do they think I will approve such a 'comment' or are they just fishing in case I have my 'Allow pingbacks' option checked?
