I have comment moderation running on my site, so I think I’ve successfully cleaned up the mess. My current WP 1.2 installation is buttoned down successfully by turning off trackbacks and moderating comments. I’ll get to go through the whole process again, I guess, when I upgrade to WP 1.5 this weekend.

I, too, need the “five year old” explanation. I just got hit with trackback spam. (WP 1.2 installation). I’ve deleted wp-trackback.php to prevent future problems.

Here’s where I’m the confused 5-year old. Unlike comment spam (sent to moderation in my installation) there appears to be nothing to delete on my WP website for trackback spam. Is that right? I want to be sure that I am not advertising online poker.

This thread is exactly why God made support forums. Many thanks for saving a few of my brain cells. (I _KNEW_ I didn’t have Textile running, yet . . . .)
