vBulletin Options > User Registration Options

# Moderate New Members - Allows you to validate new members before they are classified as registered members and are allowed to post.

Great mod thx.

And Sandor I will say Yes to your Dutch tranlation.

Ok, so it uses vB's moderation methods. That is what I was unclear of, thanks!

Is there a way to skip the moderation of members? I'd like to use some of the invite features and such, but don't really need to worry about the moderation aspect.

[Valter]

If you disable moderation in Registration Settings then just leave this part alone. It will not affect new registrations in any way.

Has anyone else experienced this issue and if so, what did you do to fix it? Thanks.

very good mod thank you so much I will test it as soon as.....

A clarification please? "Delete inactive accounts after x days" doesn't really mean all inactive accounts? I assume it's just deleting primary members of Users Awaiting Email Confirmation?

This will delete user if:
- Primary usergroup = 3 (Users Awaiting Email Confirmation)
- Post count = 0
- Not confirmed X days after registration

Just a question. I would like to use this mod to invite people so that only people invited can register. I'm the admin and I would like to have this possibility but not to give it to other members. Can I restrict this feature only to a specific usergroup (in this case only the administrator group)?
