IS there such thing as a pingback type DDoS?
 

I dunno if somebody's spambot went qawol or what, but i just received over 4000 pingbacks to one of my wordpress blogs in an hour or less, shit is retarded. no info on the pingback, nothing. wtf?

trackbacks or whatever the fuck they are, is there and easy way to remove 5000 comments from moderation at once? hah. it's closing in on 4800 and climbing as i watch.
