Ah I saw his replies and told him I can not give him the changes I made without the author's ok.
I've been thinking, could a plugin be created to prevent a usergroup from being able to check the options for emails? I know you can turn them off by default via the acp, but then the user can just turn them on. I figure with the changes to the user groups I made last Aug when we switched hosts to hostmonters, if the registered usergroup is not allowed to change those settings I won't have this issue anymore.
I'm not in a life or death hurry, my users know it's the hosts fault

I had to turn of confirmation of new registrations though so I prepared my moderators for a possible influx of spammers
I think a plugin that moves them to a different usergroup would be easiest right?

If we can update this to work on 4.1.x it will satisfy my retarded host.

The main difference between the old mod I linked and the one I installed is that the old one doesn't require the user to log in. But since I just spent 1.5 hours with my crappy hosts "support" I can't see how it works.
