    I’ve searched the support forum, but haven’t found anything. Is there a plugin that will allow me to require ALL commentors to leave a web url address? WordPress Moderation lets you require a name and an email, but no URL and I would like that option. If someone doesn’t leave an URL, then either they cannot post, or it goes into moderation.

    Is there anything like this out there?

    And what if I don’t have a website but I am an avid reader of your blog and would like to comment? Did you think about that?

    Yes I did.

    Here’s why I want that option: I get about 15-20 “people” commenting a week that don’t have websites. They leave a bogus email and the name just means nothing. In WordPress’s comments log, the IPs are shown and these 15-20 people tend to be 5 or 6 people writing comments under different names and emails.

    If I’m able to moderate such comments BEFORE they go live, and that includes commentors that DO NOT have websites, I can moderate the comment myself and choose if it goes live or not.
