Comment fields filter missing

[ttodua]

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).
