No.

In that case, you may just use the recipe URL approvals (and discard the 
previous settings with CommentPages.php). Any posted link or image link will 
be just displayed as non-clickable text until you approve it or delete it. 
And this way, you can even allow "good" approved inline images in those 
groups.

See :

Note however that links are approved per-site. Once an external site is 
approved, all links to pages and images on this site will be automatically 
allowed and shown.

Yes, in my experience, most people add comments in good faith. 

Adding an edit password, even one written in clear text on the login form or 
at the home page, tends to cut approximately 100.0% of all spam.
