 * In the setting option there is a topic about membership. I have selected it by
   tick mark and nowadays I am watching many are registering to my site. What does
   it mean? Can anyone clear this issue please? My site address is [http://aas-bd.com](http://aas-bd.com)

 * Unless you have a specific reason that you want people to be able to register,,
   it is better to leave this option unchecked. I would delete all the users that
   have registered as well.
 * Once people (or bots) are registered they are able leave comments on your site.
   You already have spam comments on the blog pages of your site — possibly due 
   to this. If you allow comments to be posted you really need to moderate them 
   as it reduces credibility and will affect your search ratings if your site allows
   spam comments to be posted.
 * If you are allowing comments, you will probably need a plugin in place to restrict
   spam such as akismet.
 * There are other settings which can help restrict comments at settings => discussion

 * Thanks for providing clear idea about membership registration in setting section
   of WordPress.
