One of my client’s discourse install is invite only with following settings:

I’m pretty sure there is something wrong which is causing some users to be able to create account without being invited. Those users however land into the review queue but I don’t quite understand how is it possible for them as the registration link isn’t shown and I’ve tried to manually visit the /signup link, it doesn’t present the popup.

Please help me understand what to check and how to disable this behavior (users being able to register without being invited).

Just to be extra sure, Login via email and Social logins are all disabled.

Any help is highly appreciated.
