    Hi,
    A user, carlyclearmee, just registered on my site and is listed under ‘Team’ as Subscriber. Should I be worried? I have no idea who this person is, and he/she has nothing to do with my site.

    Thank you,
    Bengt

    Hi there,

    Your site at http://travelblog.alverborg.com/ is not hosted on WordPress.com, but using the open source WordPress.org software. We cannot help with this in the WordPress.com forums.

    Please post in the self-hosted WordPress forums instead for help:

    They likely registered via the Register link in the Meta widget bottom-right on your site. If you don’t want people to be able to do that, go to Settings ->General in WP-Admin and disable the option to let site visitors create accounts. A subscriber is just a subscriber, though. That user role doesn’t have any access to the dashboard or any ability to make changes to your site.
