Block all comments with any link is one way:
Admin Dashboard>Settings>Discussion>Comment Moderation>Hold a comment in the queue if it contains>SET TO “1”> and then in comment blacklist section add a list like this:
www
http
url
ftp
sex
viagra
drugs
Save Changes.
Now any comment with a link will require approval and most will go to spam (due to blacklist setting)
Also, closing comments after a period of time will reduce maintenance of comments..

Thanks guys,
It is not my comments section. They are all protected by everything you suggest.
It is my user registration process. I get this type of user registration often. They register on my site as subscribers.
New User Registration on your site:
Teaching Strategies for Relief Teaching.
Username: Breelafar
Firstname: Breelafar
Email: (Example) junk email address goes here with a ru prefix
IP Address: 222.169.60.2
Password: 1jBb34pvhZ
I don’t want to discourage user registration by legitimate users. I know I can delete them in the USER directory but I was just wondering if there is any way to stop them at the registration process. I assume they are robotic registrations rather than real people.

and leaving their junky weblinks on the site.
Where are they ‘leaving’ links?
