turning off trackbacks

Hey all,

Trackback spam has been a continual nuisance, but has it increased by an
order of magnitude for anyone else this week?


I don't really get any positive benefits from having trackbacks enabled
currently--is there a clean way of disabling them?

Not the easy way right now:)

But, just change

bx_plugins_blog_trackback::getContentById() to

always
return '<error/>';

and you're set

and maybe remove the trackback metadata stuff in blog.xsl (so the
spiders don't even find the trackback url)
