    Pingback/Trackback Spam Problem

    Hey Everyone,
    So my site has been inundated recently with tons of spam through pingbacks and trackbacks.
    I am trying to stop this spam, but to no avail. I disabled pingbacks and trackbacks in the Wordpress Admin settings-Discussion, at the "Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)" option. However, this has not fully stopped the pingbacks and trackback spam.

    I also choose to approve comments before posting.

    I blocked the IP address of some of the culprits.

    However, they are still posting the pingbacks and trackbacks!

    How can I stem the flow of this spam?

    Thanks!
