Feature Request Thread.

[h2s]

Some forums that you sign up to require you wait until you get mod approval prior to initializing membership. Not sure if vbulletin allows that, but it would be a nice screening tool.

This, at least from my experience, is more generally used on forums that aim for limited membership (such as DatbTrue). I will look into it though, as it would solve a decent amount of spam (since most spam accounts are obvious). My only concern is that a delay from registration to acceptance would deter a potential new member from posting, and they would seek out another forum in the meantime (it would be hard to keep requests filled at all times).

I love the AM function that shows new activity in subscribed threads or threads you've posted in.....a notification function.

I will look into how they do this.
