How does the newbie filter work if you have Email Activation enabled on vBulletin?

Because Email Activation puts them into a group awaiting Email activation, while Glow Host is trying to put them into the Newbies group.

Normally this wouldn't be a problem. Most people immediately go and activate.

But with Spam Bots, they register, never activate by email, and since GlowHost puts the user into a group which has posting privileges, they are able to post on the forum without activating.

This is where the problem arises.

If this is in fact a bug, or oversight, the solution would be for GlowHost to *wait* until they have moved out of the "Awaiting Email Activation" group before considering them a new registrant.

As it stands, it immediately considers them an activated registrant.
