I just updated vBulletin to 4.x and reinstalled the updated version of this mod… then realised I still have the same issue as I had before, for those in the same boat I will post again here:

I have another mod called "Moderate New Registrations Based On IP Geographical Origin" which whitelists and lets through all registrations from my local country (Australia in my case) but requires moderation for all new registrations outside the defined whitelist.

Problem is that this mod only works if you turn on moderation for ALL users… What I wanted to do was make the option appear in the ModCP WITHOUT turning on the "Moderate New Members" option. I do love the ban option in this mod since if I simply delete spammers they get to reuse the same email address, banning stops that.

To fix this problem I found that editing the xml install file and the user_moderation.php file removing the references to $vbulletin->options['moderatenewmembers'] means this little hack doesn't check to see if the moderate new members flag is on, but still checks everything else and still only allows supermods access. (which is exactly what I want).

While I understand this isn't supported by the Mosh, it's only a minor mod and is easy enough to reverse if ever needed. I have run it for a long time on 3.x and now on 4.x it seems to be working just as well. Once again, many thanks.
