Some readers may remember that we used to have a big comment spam problem at CIS blogs (see here and, more generally, here). Now that this problem has been fixed by a workable solution for several months, we are increasingly getting a new kind of spam: trackback spamming. As long as no workable solution to trackback spamming is installed on the server on which the CIS blogs are running, the trackback functionality will remain turned off. Sorry about that. For some information about the motivations of blog spammers, read here.
