Also there are several methods to approve new members without using the approval queue.
For registrations:
Enable Email Verification?
Require a Unique Email per Account?
CAPTCHA verification?
We have this in place.
Set the new members group to a new group that has limited powers(no pm,only replies to posts no shout box,etc) and or moderated posts that mods can approve. And auto promote them to the regular group after x number of posts.
I read this when I was perusing the board. Yes, I have no life. This would be good. Maybe even five posts would be enough.
Also you can automate stop forum spam:
Auto with Message
Auto with Silent Fail
I think Gizmo wrote some of this code? We don't have this.
Dave would have to set this up for me.
All that without reverting to manually approving new registrations via the registration queue.
