Trackback and Pingback are open invitations to spam. There is no way to fix them, they are broken by design. (WP relies on post-hoc whack-a-mole games like keyword filtering to cut down on trackback spam; it’s expensive, inefficient, and error-prone).

When a better replacement comes along, we’ll look at implementing it in Textpattern. Until then, as I wrote in the FAQ, there’s nothing stopping someone creating a plugin.
