I'm really hoping Marc can install a captcha program and it would be nice if we could ban a certain email address from registering (mail.ru) to help limit the amount of spam. BTW, Marc should be back around over his Christmas break. He has been very busy working on his Ph.D. He will be upgrading the forum software at that time and any changes to board policy will also be made at that time.
Seeing as Marc has been tied up lately can't the secondry administrators change the board's configuration to require admin approved registration? I assume its just at e-mail verification right now? Or can only Marc change that setting? I guess also you would need access to the e-mail account of which the e-mail's generated for the welcomming of new users to actually activate them unless you had a way to see latest registered users and manually approve them one by one from the member's list? Tedious i know but easier than a mod queue for all new users no?
