What Does This Hack Do?
This is hack gives your Super Moderators the option in the ModCP to now manually approve new user registrations, that before now only Administrators could do from the AdminCP.
This means you can now spread the load of manually approving members with your Super Moderators, leaving you the administrator more time to do other things.
This hack was created because I liked the idea of the request in this thread, and seems to have been requested quite a few times over the years.
There are no file or template changes at all and is fully phrased. You just need to upload 1 file, import 1 product and alter 2 vBulletin Options in the AdminCP.
Installation Instructions
Unzip product-jd_20070831.zip
Upload /upload/modcp/user_moderation.php to your <forum root>/modcp folder (overwrite existing uploaded file if upgrading).
Import product-jd_20070831.xml into vB using the AdminCP Product Manager (set Allow Overwrite to Yes if upgrading).
Under the User Registration Options section of vBulletin Options in the AdminCP:
Ensure Moderate New Members is set to Yes
Ensure Verify Email address in Registration is set to Yes

OH, see, that explains it. So these people haven't clicked on the validation links then. Gotcha.
The whole registration process is automatic until you, other admins and super mods have people who have confirmed their emails, then you will have users to moderate
Is there any way to make it such that I can have a user in a certain usergroup instead of a super moderator. I want to have others ONLY moderate the user registrations and not be able to do anything else. Thus I don't want them to have full super moderator perms just to use this moderate user ability.

My biggest headache after moving to vBulletin from phpbb (+category hierarchy mod) is that it has put the complete load of usergroup management on me (the admin) . I liked the way group moderators worked in the older setup where group moderators could add or remove users to from usergroups.
i'm with simunaqv on this. If we could have a usergroup management function similar to the one in phpbb, where you can assign a certain user as the "manager" of that 1 usergroup, that person would then be in charge of who gets added and deleted.
Example: i run a website for a gaming community. we have multiple groups set up for the various servers, and for our server admin staff. while i run the site, i am not in charge of the admins or the individual groups. but as of right now, the people who DO run those groups have to continually PM me who to add and who to remove. is there a way to allow a single user to be able to manage a single usergroup, like can be done in phpbb?

Nope, not without a custom hack and probably changes to vBulletin's core code to do it.
There is something weird. I installed this, but users are joining without a moderator accepting or denying them. I also have Invitation System, maybe that is a factor?

Try testing it with the Invite System disabled (it may bypass normal registration routines), see if there are any issues then, my staff have been using this for over 6 months without any problems, but then we do not have an invite system installed.
Also please click Mark as Installed, as you are currently using my hack.
