Description
If I have a link in my posting to another node on my own site that is comment enabled, I get a ping comment there. An option to turn that off would be nice.
#1
IMO this is a bug, because pingbacks to your own site make no sense.
#2
I don't see why pingbacks to your own sites necessarily make no sense. They can be useful as ways to "see other nodes that link here" lists. Granted, there are more elegant ways of handling this, but I do not agree that it's a bug.
#3
Hm, I guess on a site with multiple authors, this *could* make sense… Changing back to the original: feature request to add the option to disable local pingbacks.
#4
Yeah, I see this as a good feature.
Also, subscribe.
#5
New features go to 6.x-2.x.

I have developed a mod to the pingback config page, which gives a checkbox for whether to pingback your own site or not. I will post it here when #295237: Mission Clean Code has been completed, and freso & andreashaugstrup can see if they think it is worth committing.
I found that it can be useful in a development environment to be able to ping your own site, when making changes and testing pingback, but I wanted to turn this off in the live site.
With this mod, I also put in code to remove the attempts to pingback files attached to the node, eg images, which can never accept a pingback.

Any news?
