 * I’m a developer working for an active WordPress blog.
 * We have users commenting on our articles and some of them put their website in
   their name. This means that our SEO is being interfered with because the user’s
   websites are being backlinked from our blog.
 * We do not want this as most of the sites that users are linking from are competitors
   and we don’t want to support this. Is there anyway to remove the option from 
   users being able to link their website?

   > comments are designed to get users to click on links in order to drive traffic
   > to other sites. As a result, many spam comments contain multiple links. Setting
