Well, that’s one way to deal with comment and trackback spam.
Sadly, I’ve had to limit trackbacks as well. Sigh.
Oh how I wish it worked! Spent a day in January taking the Trackback element off 3000 entries. There should be a way of somehow zinging them back (and I’m witchy enough to go so far as erasing their hard drives) when they post. Even with the robo-posts, a good hacker should be able to come up with something.
