The reason being is I have another mod to let through all white listed IP's using this mod:

Moderate New Registrations Based On IP Geographical Origin:

This works well, local stuff goes through, but the moderation rights are not given to SuperMods unless I flip the above switch to make ALL new registrations require moderation.

So I either have work for Admin (which I don't want) or lots of work for Super Mods (which I would also like to avoid).

edit: I also love the ban option in this mod since if I simply delete spammers they get to reuse the same email address, banning stops that.

(which is exactly what I want).

Is there any downside that I'm missing here?

Not that I can think of, but if you run across any issues I will not be able to help unless you revert the changes, as I do not support custom modifications to this hack.
