right...thanks David...the Moderate Users function only works for Admin's and there appears to be no way to assign it to Moderators, even though it should fall within their natural jurisdiction. They can ban (in most cases)...they should also be able to approve, delete, or ignore New Users in Manual Registration mode.

This is a perfect opportunity to train moderators to be really good at what they do! With a few well placed hoops in place for New Members to jump through, Moderators can learn to run all the vital checks that should be run to validate legitimate forum users, freeing Admin up to concentrate on things like building bigger and better and more successful forums!

For the life of me I cannot imagine why this seems to be so hard to fathom. I don't expect it is an altogether easy task but it cannot possibly be flat-out impossible and the benefit would be significant, bringing vBulletin all kinds of eager new forum enthusiasts!

Pull your heads out of the canners boys and smell the roses for a change...your people know what they are talking about. They use these tools every single day.
