    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.
