And yes, people are more polite on their own blogs because they're accountable, but trackbacks can also point to splogs and spam content, and that's where trackbacks lose it. chuq Technorati-based trackbacks are definitely better, but if folks use the standard blog trackback setup, they’re asking for problems.

I think the Washington Post's implementation works pretty well since Technorati is pretty aggressive when it comes to filtering blog spam. Also, I believe Moveable Type and Wordpress both have trackback moderation capabilities. But the bigger point is that people tend to be more civil when they write on their own blogs than in comments since there is a bit more accountability for their opinions.
