    Linkback dropdown request

    I'm so tired of being reminded of how many ******** use my RSS feed to find content for their splogs, with every post made generating a pingback to their bs sites. All I want is the dropdown at the top of every thread so people can bookmark it on del.icio.us or wherever. Why does that require me to enable pingbacks and get these dozens of mod requests I have to delete? I've yet to have a single legitimate one, so I've stopped even reading them, I just delete them wholesale once a week or so. But I still have to do that, and see the yellow stripes under every single thread on my site until I delete the mod request.

    Yes, I want the social bookmarking dropdown for the entire thread, not just for individual posts. Thank you for that functionality. But please allow me to turn off pingbacks and still keep the dropdown.

    The idea is to never see any, not to never see any again. And I have too many different sites pinging back. These guys have software that crank them out by the hundreds and share info with each other, there's no way to keep up with them.

    Please just admit it's two good ideas that may or may not work for everyone together, and add a way to unlink them for those of us that need one half or the other. Really, what does bookmarking on social sites have to do with random pingbacks anyway? Two entirely different things.

    I thought your "Updated - Zero Spam!" upgrade would fix this, so I haven't said much until now. But I haven't noticed any difference.

    I'd hoped the "Ignore" button would add each domain to some ignore list, but that doesn't seem to be what it does.
