Posted: Tue Jun 12, 2007 10:58 pm Post subject: A different kind of trackback problem |
|
|
John,
I've approved a trackback, but I'm still getting email about it. This trackback is for a book that is directly related to the subject of the post.
Once, long ago, I approved a semi-related trackback for a site that was about dolls, but the notices never stopped, and I finally deleted it just to get the emails about it to stop.
I don't want to do that this time. I'm perfectly satisfied with this, and I want the system to accept that I know what I'm doing. Can you help?
Thanks,
gristgal |

Not sure what you're talking about... Are you referring to trackback notification emails? The mails that say Your blog currently has 9 trackbacks(s) in moderation for example? |

What I'm saying is that, even though I've approved the trackback (it isn't merely non-offensive; it's relevant to the post), I continue to get emails about it.
Will it continue to email me about an approved trackback? If so, why? And, can you make it stop?
I am perfectly okay with emails about trackbacks I haven't approved. I just want to know whether anyone thought about what the software should do in the event that a trackback it thinks is spam is approved. And, if no mechanism has been designed, whether one can or will be.
Thanks |

The system only sends trackback notification emails when there are trackbacks waiting for approval. If you are receiving trackback notification emails, they would be in reference to a new trackback in your queue, not one you have already approved. |

So if I get a trackback email, it has to be tied to a new one? Every so often, I'll get a trackback notice, but then there's nothing new listed.
Do "ghosts" appear? Or would it be that a message is generated, but then some machine re-appraisal decides it's one it can delete on its own? (It's my Elephant Child curiosity again; sorry.)
Thanks,

Trackback notifications are only sent for blogs which have trackbacks waiting for approval; that's really the most accurate way for me to answer your question.
Every so often, I'll get a trackback notice, but then there's nothing new listed.
It could have been possible that our admins cleared out trackbacks en masse (when a large batch comes through that makes it past the automatic filters for example) between the time the notification was sent and the time you checked your queue.
Do "ghosts" appear?
I have not heard of such a thing. |
