 * Hi,
 * Within the last week, I had two unsollicited users that have registered on my
   blog.
 * On the blog, anyone can post a comment but I did not add the registration option!
   Both “new users” had a Gmail address.
 * Anyone has this kind of situation before ?
 * Thanks

 * Possibly spammers accessing the registration url directly. Just delete these 
   users then uncheck “Anyone can register” in Settings/General and save your changes.
