Registration requires moderation but they are still registering

[MaXimus]

when I was on vBulletin 4 if I set registration to require moderation then the users who register won't show up in the latest registered member list until I approve them in the users awaiting moderation list

now I downgraded to vB3 but I can see names of users being registered in the main page on the latest registered members list.

what gives?

what am I missing here

I think this forum is dead

Lots of people have read this but I guess none have any answers for you. I don't either.

I posted this on vbulletin forums.com and one of their support agents told me to disable the users having to be moderated, save, then renable it again

I did that, lets see how it goes

Ok, I can verify that this trick solved the problem I am getting the newly registered users now in the moderation que

Could you please provide the whole setting?

Its in AdminCp>vBulletin Options>User Registration Options

Nevermind, I spoke too soon I guess. Some users do appear on the awaiting moderation list but others are being registered automatically.

Please help

In the first post, it sounds like your problem is who is showing up in the Current Active Users list. In your last post, it sounds like your problem is whether users are being put into the Users Awaiting Moderation group or the Registered Users group. What is the exact problem you are trying to solve?

Well the users are not going to the users awaiting moderation group, they are going straight to the registered users group

only like once, one user did actually go to the users awaiting moderation que.

I am getting insane amount of spammy registrations and have temporarily disabled registration until I fix this

Please help.....

PS: if you want my admin login to check, please let me know

What steps have you taken to prevent spammer/bot registrations? do you have any mods installed for it?
