They are just listed as “participant” under users of the blog in question. I’m not sure whether they are bbpress forum roles, but bbpress must have something to do with it because when I uninstall bbpress the behaviour stops.
There are no forums on these blogs, just the parent blog (http://theglobalschool.net/science).
Try it for yourself. Go to a sub-blog (http://theglobalschool.net/science/nerissabcr). Hover over “blog authors”. There are heaps – most have only viewed the blog. Notice ‘teststudent’ is not listed as a blog author.
Now go to http://theglobalschool.net/science and sign in as [removed login information]. Now visit that blog again. I bet “teststudent” is added as a blog author.
It’s not registering the user; the user becomes a “participant” on the blog they have viewed. The only person who can register a user is me.
Example of what happens: a blog on my multisite is http://theglobalschool.net/science/news . The only user for this blog is the administrator.
Another member of the multiside views this blog, and immediately becomes a “participant” of this blog. I don’t want this to occur because, when students log into the site, on the toolbar they see a whole bunch of blogs listed under “my blog” which they cannot contribute to.
I have the latest version of WordPress, and have tried deleting bbPress and reinstalling to no avail.
Suggestions?
