Step 1: Open template register ,then find and delete this:

<script type="text/javascript">
function verify_passwords(password1, password2)
{
	// do various checks, this will save people noticing mistakes on next page
	if (password1.value == '' || password2.value == '')
	{
		alert('$vbphrase[fill_out_both_password_fields]');
		return false;
	}
	else if (password1.value != password2.value)
	{
		alert('$vbphrase[entered_passwords_do_not_match]');
		return false;
	}
	else
	{
		<if condition="$show['coppa']">
		pass_copy = password1.value;
		passconfirm_copy = password2.value;
		</if>

		var junk_output;
		
		md5hash(password1, document.forms.register.password_md5, junk_output, $show[nopasswordempty]);
		md5hash(password2, document.forms.register.passwordconfirm_md5, junk_output, $show[nopasswordempty]);
		
		<if condition="$show['coppa']">
		document.forms.register.password.value = pass_copy;
		document.forms.register.passwordconfirm.value = passconfirm_copy;
		</if>
		
		return true;
	}
	return false;
}
</script>

 onsubmit="return verify_passwords(password, passwordconfirm);"

<input type="hidden" name="passwordconfirm_md5" />

					<td>
						$vbphrase[confirm_password]:<br />
						<input type="password" class="bginput" name="passwordconfirm" size="25" maxlength="15" value="$passwordconfirm" />
					</td>

Step 2: In the register.php file find and delete this parts of code:

		'passwordconfirm'     => TYPE_STR,
		'passwordconfirm_md5' => TYPE_STR,

		OR (empty($vbulletin->GPC['passwordconfirm']) AND empty($vbulletin->GPC['passwordconfirm_md5']))

	// check for matching passwords
	if ($vbulletin->GPC['password'] != $vbulletin->GPC['passwordconfirm'] OR (strlen($vbulletin->GPC['password_md5']) == 32 AND $vbulletin->GPC['password_md5'] != $vbulletin->GPC['passwordconfirm_md5']))
	{
		$userdata->error('passwordmismatch');
	}

Just out of curiosity, why wouldn't you want Verification?

[Floris]

The people who are going to use this forum are unexperienced with the internet and forums. They have to be provoked to join and the less things / steps to do / take the better. It is a thing they simply don't understand (why do i need to type it twice?) .. we thin kfrom admin point of view, but this forum is a all end-user view perspective. The spam issue,.. is issue for the hired mods, not for the users. We even skip the forum rules using &agree=1

Floris,

Your link isn't working properly at the moment.....

register.php??do=register&agree=1

There are two '?' so the 'do' and 'agree' arguments are lost and you get the forum rules again

Just thought i'd let you know

I suppose that makes sense Floris; I guess I'm just stuck thinking from an administrative point of view and the endless number of people asking why there password isn't working.
