Not sure about redirecting although I know there's a vB hook somewhere that can do that... what you could do (possibly - not tested it) is, in the form hack plugin right at the top, just after:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] == $formname)
{

put:

	if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['userid'])
	{
		print_no_permission();
	}

then if you need a redirector, replace (or add to) the print_no_permission() with the hook.

Alternatively you can amend this line in the plugin code:

// if (!in_array($vbulletin->userinfo['usergroupid'], array(2,5,6,7))) print_no_permission();

by removing the comment bars and amending the allowed usergroups (or removing the NOT bang and setting groups who cannot access, if that's easier).

Setting the post to be from a defined user is, from what I can tell, far more difficult, as the call to build_new_post() picks up the current user's id (whether a member or not).

Anyone found out how to circumvent the posts (from unregd users) going into the Moderation queue yet?
