My blog has been inundated with spam, I do
not want to block valid comments only the spammers. The trackback
option is enabled and this allows spammers to post comments without
registering a valid email address. Turning off trackback or ping back
would prevent this, I have known about this for a while but have been
too lazy to get around applying the fix. But I finally applied the fix
by turning off trackback, with this command in MySql, UPDATE wp_posts SET ping_status=”closed”.
