To do so in WP installations lower than 2.0.x, simply go to Options » Writing and next to <strong>Newly Registered Members</strong>, make sure that <strong>Cannot write articles</strong> is marked. It will still allow people to register, but it will prevent people from publishing anything to your blog at all (not even in draft mode). Sounds to me that this may have been automated in some way to automatically register/publish generic content as this doesn't strike me as a blog that says "hey, sign up and start making draft entries." My 2 cents though :) ~ Teli Or…since you’re using WordPress, you can, in your Options, make sure that newly registered visitors cannot publish drafts.

Those site owners need to be on the lookout for this kind of thing. Sure I can, and I use Akismet to stop comment spam but I know plenty of blogs that require you to register before you can comment.
