LJ FAIL: Some potentially useful workarounds.
If, like me, you disabled pingbacks but your journal still seems to be sending those out anyway, you could try using a shortened URL when you link to other LJ posts or comments. For instance, from this service. That will apparently help.
I've also been told that it may help to ban pingback_bot from your journal. You can do that by clicking on "Settings", "Privacy", then "Ban and unban users from commenting in my journal", and then put "pingback_bot" without the "", into the big text box, and click on "ban users".
If that works for you, you may want to spread the word around too.
