Do you need to have new people sign themselves up? I have disabled new account registration from the front end. Everyone that needs access to the registered user content has an account and if someone new/else does need it then I manually create their account in the back-end.
I left the front-end signup open long enough for everyone to create their account requests, but then flipped the option in the Joomla configuration that disables account creation requests from the public side. The login box is still there, but the signup links are gone... --Michael T.
