I have created those new usergroups, but in 3.6 I don't think there is an option to actually select the usergroup to make it default. So, i installed this: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1546573 and now all new users are put into moderation.

BUT, now what happens is that vB tells the users that an email has been sent out to be validated, and when they click on that click, it tells them that their account is already validated, so they are already put into that moderation group - but I think this is to do with the actual plugin.

If a user makes 3 posts which are not approved by the admin, does the promotion system still promote them to another usregroup, or do their posts need to be approved first, which are then essentially added to their post count?
