how do I get rid of linkback?

[cpnmaniac44]

A new LinkBack has been recorded for a thread you have participated entitled

............
never gotten any of these until today.........and I have gotten 15 in less than 30 minutes. Other sites are linking back to post on HCW.

How can I stop this unwanted spam?

All links direct me to the HCW thread and no way to unsubscribe from the site that is doing this. Different sites on different linkbacks.
It's linking back to threads are are 6 months old. JUNK.

just got 10 more at one time....HELP....!!

[cpnmaniac44]

The originating site is located at:
http://frugalfrenzy.blogspot.com/2009/03/harris-teeter-match-ups.html

the above is doing some of them. I see no way to un-subscribe.
It's related to Harris Teeter.......only option I see is TOO subscribe.

I could come back tomorrow and have 100's in my box. I've gotten over 20 already in a short time.

What is a LinkBack?

LinkBacks are links from elsewhere that reference a forum discussion. These links are registered in our forums in three different ways: Pingbacks, Trackbacks or Refbacks. To learn more about this feature, please visit this page:

Do you mean your getting email's from HCW? I got one, outside of PM's yesterday which was kind of weird but not pingbacks....

I wonder if you should PM adminstration here.

I am also being bombarded with these. I have gotten about 100 today. How can we make them stop?? There has to be a way to get rid of this SPAM.

I have never heard of anyone getting emails about linkbacks. OP can you please forward one of these emails to me at heidi AT hotcouponworld.com (use the AT sign)

Thank you!

well, the truth is the e-mail address where they are coming from is the one I listed above.
Now the names of the sites that are being linked to a thread on HCW are different. I'm getting one for every comment I've made on various threads. If I commented 5 times on one thread, I'm getting 5 linkbacks.

It looks like HCW is associating with the sites in some way. One was frugal.com I think. DEAL site but................ :shrug7:

I want the same rights as I have with credit card companies, the right to OPT OUT without endangering my HCW membership. :sad:
