AdminCP >> Settings >> Options >> Registration Options

Moderate New Members
Allows you to validate new members before they are classified as registered members and are allowed to post.

Set to Yes.

This is the way I have it set up too, but new registrations are not sent for moderation. I posted about this on the forums, and ended up raising a ticket on vb.com support. They said GlowHost was the problem; they confirmed I had my vb admincp settings correct for moderating new registrations, but that GlowHost Spam-o-Matic was preventing this from happening.

The way I see it at the moment you have two possible options

1 set up spam-o-matic to moderate the first post/ posts of new users using keywords (the downside is you will still have to approve some posts or get a moderator to)

2 use it in conjunction with this mod-

then if new users do make any spam posts they can be dealt with in one click
