 * Hi, I use ReallySimple Captcha (instead of ReCaptcha) to register users. Recently,
   I found some bots passed the registration: I suppose this means ReallySimple 
   Captcha is not working as expected anymore. Maybe the problem is that I use the
   latest WP version (4.9.8), but could it be a WP-members-related issue too? Just
   asking 🙂

 * Do you have WordPress set to allow registrations? Look at Settings > General 
   to see if “anyone can register” is checked. If so, I’d recommend turning that
   off.

 * “Anyone can register” is currently unchecked (and it has always been unchecked)
