 I have a potential hacker (dreamsbadtoyou2 at airmail.cc) that has somehow
 added themselves as an admin to my website. I do not have the box checked
 under general settings that even allows someone to request permission, but
 they were still able to set themselves up as an admin. I took them off,
 checked the box and set the default role to blocked, but they tried again
 and were successful in making themselves an admin. This is a HUGE problem
 that I haven't encountered before and it needs to be addressed
 immediately.
