Email validation delay (organized spam stopper!)

In the control panel settings, “User Registration Options” I checked the “moderate new members” box to force all new registrations to the “(COPPA) users awaiting moderation” group (ID 4 I believe). Then I set the promotions system to upgrade them to a custom usergroup after 24 hours. I didn’t have to change the default settings, I just automate the mod approval of new members. Doing this automatically is a big reason why I switched to vb from ubb 3 years ago.
