 so, take:


 {{{
 add_filter('comment_form_default_fields', 'website_remove');
 function website_remove($fields)
 {
         if( isset($fields['url']) )
                 unset($fields['url']);
         return $fields;
 }
 }}}

 it only removes 'url' input field from output of comment form visually and
 it does not have any point, because in backend
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/6.4.2/src/wp-
 includes/comment.php#L3460 it is still accepted. So, indeptendently
 whether you have shown it on front-end or not, bots can still submit form-
 data with `url` field included.


 that filter should be supposed to affect both front-end and back-end,
 otherwise that filter is useless (we can just do `display:none` for those
 fields).
