Now I have it all on absolute moderation, which because trackbacks in WP are treated as comments, gets everything. It takes that plus periodically renaming the file that handles comments, and the code that references it, to keep it at all modest. But I haven't updated WP yet, and haven't tried any plugins that might make a difference. Been busy enough for it to get marginal attention.What gets me, on the WP blog I run, is that they can find a way to put through trackbacks even with trackbacks completely turned off.
