Unfortunately this didn't work.

I previously was using your edit that allowed for a new post in a preexisting thread (instead of an entirely new thread.) So I uninstalled that one first.

Then I changed the forum number, userID and name variables accordingly on this one, just to test, installed it, and started the registration for a new user.

When the admin finally goes to moderate in the new user, however, this error comes up:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/.odell/mydir/myforumname/forums/global.php on line 22

Thanks for the effort, flypaper. I'm still very interested to see if this can be made to work. Seems like it makes a lot of sense and is a nice way to give a welcome to every new member ... so long as they are verified and moderated inside properly! (As I'm sure you know, not every board has an open-door policy, some are decidely restricted or "invite only," and the vibe is enhanced when members are greeted properly when they finally are able to login. Of course this whole mechanism falls apart if they are welcomed publicly... before they are fully validated and approved by an admin.)

Thanks again for the attempt and the attention.
