We all hate the people who register and then never post. We also know that getting someone to post their first thread or post is the hardest one to get done, but that those that do usually go on to post more.
So how about an option in the user registration which requires a user to make an introduction post. The configurable options should be the forum id for where the post will appear and a default Topic name which can be customisable but allows the use of vBulletin variables (such as the username).
This would mean that once the registration is completed (and this would include moderation if this is enabled) then the post would appear. A default purge setting for registrations that haven't been completed within a configurable number of days should be available.
