Turning off pings

I know a while back we found a MT way to turn off comments after a certain number of days.

Is there a similar way to turnoff trackbacks after "X" days? Trackback spam is killing me.

No, there doesn't seem to be.

And ConversationKiller (which I installed a while back) seems to have croaked.

I'm going to run some experiments - a single SQL query should be able to do the trick for the whole of munu.

Pixy:

MT-Close2 will do this, and on a universal or blog by blog basis. It is also reversible.

Hmm.

Oh yes, we tried that, but it gave all the users access to close/open comments on every blog. I'll see if there's an update or some way to fiddle with it.

Rilly rilly slow. It's still going. (Tested it on the old MT2 Ambient Irony.)

I did the same thing using SQL and it took 1.4 seconds.
