# Error with Spaminator

 * I was very excited with the release of WP 1.5 to find out that I could set it
   up so only registered users on my site could post comments, and enabled this 
   feature as soon as I had the upgrade installed and working. I’ve also got it 
   setup so that only I can setup user accounts, and loaded a contact form for people
   to contact me about getting a login. I figured that by doing both of these things,
   I wouldn’t have to worry anymore about the copious amounts of comment spam I 
   had been getting, but I was wrong. Somehow the spammers were still getting their
   comments up, so I went ahead and installed Kitten’s Spaminator.
 * I had been told by some of the users of my site that they were getting the following
   error message when they tried to post a comment:
 * Warning: parse_url([http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/error-with-spaminator/?output_format=md)):

    I hadn’t ever received this error,
   but heard from more and more people that they were getting it. I did some playing
   around and figured out that if the user doesn’t have a URI listed in their account
   details, they get this error when posting a comment. If a URI is present, there’s
   no error. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to stop the error without requiring
   users to have URI’s in their profile. For the time being I’ll just put in a bogus
   URI for those users that have chosen not to provide one, but I’d like to avoid
   having to do that with future users. Thanks in advance for your help.

 * I have the same error, but on different lines. I’m new to WP (Using 1.5) and 
   not very well-versed in PHP to make the appropriate changes. What should I do
   to correct the problem?
