HART,

If you get primarily spammers registering as Subscribers, why not just turn off the ability to register? As long as you don’t require registration to comment, it won’t stop people from commenting. And as you can see, spammers are willing to register to requiring registration to comment doesn’t stop spam!

It’s nice to be reminded that Subscribers are just “readers with a username and password – thatâ€™s it. No more. No less.”

I get about 10-25 new subscribers every day among my lot of blogs. I don’t require it for commenting and use Feedburner to collect emails for subscription by email.

Most subscribers seems to be spam drug selling .com domains or with .ru domain extension

I don’t doubt that you know exactly how cack a time I had making sure that the right users had access to the appropriate admin areas in that plugin what I wrote…

It burns my eyes to read about user roles in WP, but thanks for the guide all the same… I’ll be sure to refer to it in future :)
