Hi,
I have the following problem. Since a few days i have random users without roles popping up in my user list. This are usualy random user names but sometimes user names that refer to a website.
Has anyone encountered this problem before and more importantly how can it be solved?
Regards,
Erwin
Follow these two steps:
1) Delete the users
2) Turn off user registration on your blog
If you still want people to be able to create accounts, add a Captcha plug-in to prevent bots from creating random users on your blog.
Captchas aren't worth the effort. Most can be broken pretty easily.
