Hey all,
The inevitable has happened and we are now getting spammers joining up to the site. So, from now on, new users will have to be activated by an admin before they can post.

Just a heads up. Everyone cool with that?

Who are the admins besides yourself?

Actually, it's only me currently. Good point. How should we go about assigning admins? Elections? Then again there are only few people here, so that's not likely to work that well.

Anyone want to volunteer?

Okay, you're both Admins and I sent PMs to you. Big Grin
Enjoy the power but don't let it corrupt!

If you still need more admins there's me, but that's probably not necessary anymore.

Do the admins get sent an email whenever someone tries to register? If not, then seeing if something like that could be set up will make things much faster.

You've been very helpful, so you probably should be one also, considering you know Drupal better than me.

You don't know how to set it up that way, do you? Bored

Good question. I believe the plugins that offer email notification of received messages should cover it, but I'm not sure.

You could try seeing if it's covered by the notifications module, or one of the modules that add to it. It's pretty expansive, so hopefully it'll cover it.

I would test it out on a drupal install myself, but the on-campus wireless internet I'm using at my uni right now doesn't allow FTP. (I've passed the download quota at home, so I currently have to hang around the university using their internet. >.<)

Download quotas suck! I recently upgraded to a 200GB scheme on iPrimus but I'm still managing to reach the point where my bandwidth is throttled! Well that's what I get for wanting to watch US TV shows a few hours after they first air Wink

Anyway, I'll certainly have a look at that module. Thanks.
