abrecher - Ill add that to v0.7,which is coming along nicely.

Its got GUI integration now (both in 3.7 and 3.6 in the same package), just need to add permission controls to that and recode the backend record / caching as Ive rewritten a lot of it to cut down on the number of remote calls and to allow for further changes if and when theyre made. Youll be able to submit details to the remote website from the GUI, once I get a response from the guy who runs stopforumspam.com

Ive just looked at the source for 3.7, specifically this

// assign user to usergroup 3 if email needs verification
if ($vbulletin->options['verifyemail'])
{
$newusergroupid = 3;
}
else if ($vbulletin->options['moderatenewmembers'] OR $vbulletin->GPC['coppauser'])
{
$newusergroupid = 4;
}
else
{
$newusergroupid = 2;
}

There is the ability to change the user group after this but we could run into a problem. The default "new user" group is 2 but as you see, if there is COPPA or VerifyEmail set, a new user goes into a different group. Moving a user out of VerifyEmail to another group, will (but Ill have to double check) bypass email verification testing. Still, I guess if youre moving new users into a group, theyre not going to have any posting ability as part of the permissions of the special group.

Ill add it, disabled by default, with an explaination of the ramifications of a different default group, blocking admin/mod/supermod groups in the code (because otherwise, that would be bad)
