...there were others I would use to describe spam as well.

Yes, we get it. You can shotgun your garbage all over the place for almost free, so when that one person who doesn't get it falls for the trick and buys something, it's all worth it. There are plenty of places to get that done, but please don't do that here.

For anyone who's using Drupal, there's a great module to add called Spam module v2. Check it out and add it, even if you're not planning on allowing trackbacks...

I've been playing with Drupal for a couple of months (read my first couple of posts for more info), and ran into a problem with spam trackbacks. There are patches to fix the issue I was having (I couldn't select all, then delete all), but I wanted to try and prevent the issue as well. This did it all, and then some.

I now have the ability to filter the spam out, clean out my trackbacks and comments in one fell swoop, and make sure that I actually see the postings that I want to see. I'll probably post more in a few weeks once I've used it more and see how it's holding up. This will definitely be added to the other sites that I'm using Drupal on.
