# Registration & Comment Spam

 * How are people possibly registering as subscribers to my site when there is no
   option anywhere on it for them to register? I have unchecked Anyone Can Register–
   but somehow they are still registering. How do I stop this??
 * Also, how can Akismet be blocking comment spam when I also have no place for 
   anyone to leave comments and I have unchecked all possibilities for comments 
   as I don’t want them on my site at all?
 * I would greatly appreciate some insight and help on this. Thank you!

 * My site is installed via WordPress.org, not WordPress.com, so the link above 
   doesn’t answer the question.
 * In wordpress, I have also unchecked all options that allow people to comment 
   or register – and there is zero place on my website (which is still being built)
   for anyone to do either. I have comments disabled, and I have unchecked “Anyone
   Can Register”.

 * I have been searching for the answer to this question so I ran across this thread.
   I installed a plugin called Cartpauj Register Captcha. It has a captcha and honeypot
   for spam bots.
 * I had all the register stuff unchecked and hadn’t even finished my site build
   either when dozens of fake accounts started popping up.
