How do I moderate new users to ensure they can't post

[antjames]

I've only recently installed vbulletin and am gradually getting to grips with it.

What I want to implement is an email / moderator registration thing, so effectively no-one can post before I authorise them to do so. I used to be able to do this in my old (eblah) forum as user rights were set by the admins on an individual basis.

They should still be able to sign-up, and have limited views, (which I think I have managed), but no posting rights - is there a way of doing this? Would I have to create a new user group or something?

Any help gratefully received.

Cheers,
