vBulletin has a nifty little feature that requires all new members signing up for the forums be manually activated by the administrator (Avery). I think using this feature would be beneficial to the forums, especially when we ban someone and they're intent on coming back and spamming, such as mrgoogfan/viper & arenared/slipstream. Many times when people are mad, they do dumb things. Once they cool down, they tend to not do those dumb things any more. If someone is banned and they re-register, they'll have to wait until the administrator (Maybe mods can activate also, not sure) activates the account, giving them time to cool down and get over it. Also, the administrator will also view the IP addresses of the new members, determine whether or not they are using a proxy server, thus getting an idea on who to keep an eye on. What's your feedback on this?
