Nice solutions on the trackback…just saw your site Cayman, wasn’t aware Nucleus had a do follow mod.

Allowing visitors to comment without restricting their URL is an intelligent way to increase participation in discussion forum or blog like this one and encourage them to be more active. It is a win win situation when fairly used, but it could be a double edged sword too. Many will abuse the given opportunity when commenting just to get a clear link to their sites. I’d personally allow the DOFOLLOW feature along with a good dose of moderation.

No problem Maurice. I hope others with trackback spam problems can also benefit from your link.

Hi Ian,

Thanks for dropping by my place and apologies for the goof on the link. Hopefully the plugin will be worth it for you and you’ve found a new subscriber too!

Thanks Maurice. I appreciate the plugin suggestion. Looks like that just might do the trick as I will have it run alongside Spam Karma 2 AND Akismet when I make a final decision. Back to monitoring.

Thanks again.

Try using the Wordpress plugin called Simple Trackback Validation – kills the vast majority of it in one stroke No need to disable trackbacks.

On my Nucleus blog I use another trackback spam plugin which works almost as well.
