Powerblogs has axed trackbacks due to excessive spam and they’ve been nice enough to help us install technorati trackbacks so we and readers can still keep tabs on who is linking to our posts. If someone wishes to leave a link to their own post, then there is the comments section. But if we find spam links in the comment section those commentors will automatically and permanently be banned.
