New members forum only for activated users

[Power_uP]

Good idea. I kept an eye on the forum last night and I was thinking: "wow, this guy has so much energy, he has to get tired soon". Then I checked the forum again this morning and realised he must be a bot because he was still going.

I've noticed that a lot of other forums make new members wait for activation and while it is obviously frustrating at first, its the only way to stop that type of spam. Maybe you could make new members PM a mod to get the account activated? I can't imagine spambots getting past that type of check easily.
