Do I also have to make any changes to Usergroup permissions to protect certain areas?

For example.... how would it deal with a situation where I have a section that only people who are in a certain usergroup can post to?

A normal everyday person who registers goes into a "Newbie" usergroup.

Once they get 1 post they move to a "members" usergroup

Once they get to 10 posts they move to a "contributor" usergroup.

Only this "contributor" usergroup can post in certain areas.

Will activating this mod still allow for this?

I wouldn't want a guest to post to this section until they get enough posts to allow for it.

So, does this mod negate any type of promotion and permission settings?

Whoops.. sorry.. one more question.

Just making sure that any threads/posts by these people will stay in a moderation queue till the person successfully registers...

I don't want any members seeing posts till they are confirmed.

This is a great idea. I am going to try this on a couple client forums after the holiday.

Has this been addressed as this is a key feature?

I guess no, but I haven´t investigated further. My sister had an accident and died, so I forgot about this one. May be john already has a fix for that.

What I would like to suggest is, to build in a honeypot-field for those spambots. AGP&R attracts them like a candle does with fireflies. Very hard for moderators and admins to look through the Whats new-list, as there are literally every day hundreds of spam-postings and that makes that list for them nearly unusable. The human verification vBulletin offers (and AGP&R is using) isn´t worth a thing. We use additional mods - like Spam hammer! - to keep the spammers out, but noone can expect, that John builts AGP&R to be compatbile with those. So I guess, implementing a simple honey-pot (hidden field that is only available in the source code and spambots usualy fill in like something named "your email") would be a good addition for filtering those spammers out.

BTW: merry christmas to all of you.

In description of what mod does is this:

So no, user couldn't make more than one post until registered (if feature works as it should).

Omg, I am so sorry about your sister!

Thanks for the reply.

Any idea how to get rid of the text show on the image verification?
