I noticed today a bunch of trackback spam in my Tiki-powered blog.
According to Wikipedia, "Many blogs have stopped using trackbacks because dealing with spam became too burdensome."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trackback
If you get trackback spam in Tiki, here is how to clean:
Using phpmyadmin, go to the table: tiki_blog_posts
And find the colums "trackbacks_to" and "trackbacks_from". They should contain:
a:0:{}
instead of the spam.
Now, a more permanent solution to avoiding Trackback spam would be nice. Checking how other blogging software does it should provide some tips.
Some ideas:
0- A way to turn it off (this exists in more recent version of Tiki 1.9.x, see "Trackbacks Pings" in the admin panel)
1- Easier mass deletion
2- Email notification to blog owner
3- Using an online service to check for spam.
