I understand that we wish to prevent spam in the blogs, but this feature seems unnecessary. I dislike posting comments with links that then don't show up to everyone else until the owner of the blog approves the comment, and additionally, I don't like having to moderate comments with links in my own blog, as people are generally just trying to be helpful. Is there any way we can turn this feature off?

What does everyone else think? And thanks in advance for your responses.

I'm looking into it, but I don't see any reasons as to why it does it from a spam standpoint. It may be Askimet that is flagging it as that's an automated system that handles the spam for comments.

I'll have to investigate it a bit more. But in the interim, maybe there is a future fix... I'm scheduling time for it now .

Most spam contains links intended to drive traffic/google pagerank. It's less likely that a message with no link will be spam.
