In reply to: How do I completely disable Gravatar?There is no Gravatar-specific checkbox there. I can uncheck “Show Avatars,” but that’s not what I want. I want to be able to use local avatars and NOT have a Gravatar option at all.

In reply to: Trackback spam question.So as long as I’m moderating comments, these trackbacks won’t cause anything to show up on my actual site, and I can just delete these notifications and not worry any further about it?
Thanks for the help, guys! 🙂

In reply to: Trackback spam question.I don’t, and I’ll definitely install it just for curiosity’s sake, but if I need a special WP plugin to see it on my moderation page, then how can it be useful for the spammers? My visitors don’t see the backend of WP, they just see what shows up in my blog or comments, and the spammer stuff isn’t there.

In reply to: Trackback spam question.Okay, that clarifies the “what” — but what about the “why”? The spammer’s info doesn’t appear anywhere on my site, no matter how many “trackback” notifications I get, so how is it helping them? What is their purpose?
I only ask because I was inclined to just leave it be since to my untrained eye it seemed completely unsuccessful, but the fact that it continues leads me to believe they must be getting SOME benefit out of it, and if that’s the case, I want to know how to stop them.
