I’ve upgraded the TinyTuring plug-in for MT at my site so that, in addition to its usual function of controlling unregistered comments to prevent spam (the little “enter in a letter” bits at the bottom of Blog of Heroes and other fine blogs here), it won’t also automatically trash any incoming trackbacks. Which there are a few of here, mostly from me for
internal cross-references.
(Actually, this site has 600-odd trackbacks, all of them legit so far as I know. So there.)
TT’s been working well as an alternate comment registration/filter tool since I installed it in August, serving as a poor man’s CAPTCHA, and I’d like to roll it out to this main blog in the not-too-distant future (to get around some performance issues with TypeKey).

And the internal link from this post to the post I originally talked about TT on served as a test of the new version, and proof it’s working.
Now, what will be interesting will be to see how much trackback spam actually starts getting through now that TT isn’t junking all of it. 😛
Hmmmm…
Not seeing it.
Is it like the one at my site and the BoH site?
All I am getting is the not 2 weeks yet TypeKey sign up.
No, I haven’t changed DDtB (yet).
Yes, it’s the little text comment validation thang at your blog and BoH. Just a new version that isn’t trashing trackbacks.
