Open TrackBacks Policy
Feb 11th, 2007 by Basil
Effective January 19, 2007, we will not require a link to any post labeled “Open TrackBacks” in order for a TrackBack to appear.
For example, if you want to submit one of your posts to one of our “Open TrackBacks” posts, go ahead. It’s not necessary to include a blurb about our post in yours. While we are always grateful for links, but we’re no longer requiring links to have your post appear via TrackBack on an “Open TrackBack” post.
However, if you submit a TrackBack to a post that is not labeled “Open TrackBacks,” we will require a link in order for it to appear in the list.
Keep in mind that the spam-fighting software we use will likely moderate or otherwise queue your post for approval if you don’t include a link. Sometimes, it moderates TrackBacks even if you include a link. When we check the queue, we’ll approve the TrackBack.
Previously, we checked your submission, and if no link was evident, we deleted your TrackBack.
Begining January 19, 2007, we will approve such links to “Open TrackBack” posts, whether or not you link to us.
