I just installed the MovableType 3.1-happy version of MT-Blacklist. All it takes is one incoming trackback ping to a site where the URL in itself is repulsive to make me take action. I’ve had some comment spam which was easy enough to deal with thanks to comment moderation, but this was the first time I had been hit with trackback spam. Figured there would be more where that came from, so a proactive response was necessary.
*Update:* Ha! Take that! Just got another trackback from the same disgusting source on the same entry from last night. But instead of having to log into the site and delete the ping and rebuild the entry it came in on and wait for it to happen again, I click a simple “despam” link and the entry is gone *and* added to a blocklist for the future. Thanks, MT-Blacklist!
