Recently my comments have consisted almost entirely of trackback spam. Comments whose links are to fake blogs (spam blogs or splogs), their posts having a bit of my post (and other people’s posts) and a link to my post, which ends up as a comment on that post, thanks to WordPress’s trackback functions.

SK2 hasn’t been catching them. I think it’s because I set the severity of the plugin too low¹ . I changed some of the javascript-embedding-in-the-comment-form options in SK2, to see if it can solve some of my spam problems, I’ll try it for a week and see if it works, if not, I’ll have to do some of the tricky, accessibility-inhibiting methods found here.

Have you ever gotten trackback spam?
If so, what did you do?
