Incoming Pings and Trackbacks

vBSEO's default is "on" for these two items. Isn't that just asking for a lot of trackback spam?

I am not familiar with how this works in vb/vbSEO but 100% of all trackbacks on my WordPress or Expression Engine blogs is spam.

Although pinbacks and trackbacks are enabled by default in vBSEO config, all subforums have pre-moderation enabled by default too.

Has anyone had a problem with trackback spam? I'll keep it on if it works but Im'm skepticle.

Same topic being discussed in the private forums. The answer is no, not at this point for most vBSEO users... although we do currently get a lot of spam here @ vBSEO.com

We are monitoring this closely and already have several contingency plans. We plan on implementing Akismet soon for vBSEO as well.

THAT would be cool. Akimet works very well in WP.
