Seeing Davey's missery, and Sebastian's / Kristian's fixes to Serendipity to stop trackback spamming. I struck me that perhaps trackbacks combined with blog spammers are always going to be a disaster waiting to happen.
The concept is quite nice, being able to see related articles, when reading a blog, but the trackback concept is a little too trusting, unless you want to go in and moderate trackbacks.
It inspired me however to hack up a smart referer log for my blog entries. (visit the site to find out more..)
