Does any one know of a Plug in that will help with reducing the number of unknown user requests to my site?
current when a new user requests access I can only see an email address and username. Is it possible to ask the user to also make a short comment, to make it easier to see what is spam and what is valid?

You can use a captcha plugin that requires users to type a short phrase or random letters in order to register on your site.
An example of one of these plugins is the WP-reCAPTCHA, found at:

Or you can use a plugin such as CIMY User Extra Fields to add fields to a user profile and registration screen:
