    Why do people register for a blog and not even post anything. Some of them have random and flakey email addresses. What’s in it for them. Anybody know?

    It’s SPAM’ers (pretty much all automated bots).

    They register for three reasons:

    1. To test for vunerabilities and out-dated software
    2. To post comments, blog posts, etc if their permissions allow it
    3. To check if your site allows or blocks user registrations

    There’s several plugins that will help to stop the automated sign ups if you want to block these bots.
