Hello!
I have noticed there have been a few robot user registrations on some sites. This is when an automated system generates random usernames and signs up to lots of different random websites multiple times.
Because of this, I have put in a CAPTCHA system for new registrations. This is an option that is turned off by default, but if you find that you are getting bogus user registrations, i recommend you turn it on. The setting can be found in admin.
I have been reluctant to add a captcha facility until now. There are reasons why I dont like the system, but at the moment it seems to be the best option for preventing these bogus user registrations. However, we cannot guarantee that people wont find other ways to get around this system. Hopefully this will hold it off for a while though.
So, i recommend you go through your user accounts and remove the ones that are bogus (an example of a bogus name is: evellineiris evellineiris)
Hope this helps,
Robert
