Admin authorizing new users?

Hi. I'm using v. 7.01, and it seems to be working fine so far. I have a question about registering new users.

I've been on a few other forums, where when you register, it emails an admin, and he/she has to authorize your access before you can actually post or view the forums. This would be a great help for me. Does this version contain this feature, and if so, where can I activate it?

Also, another quick question. How do I modify the "Forum Rules and Policies" document the new user sees when they first sign up?

Thanks for your help.

That sounds like what I want to do. one question remains though. How can I modify the text that tells the users that registration is currently suspended?

Specifically, this text: "Sorry, new registrations are currently suspended, please check back again later."

I would like to change it to something like this: "To register, please contact the forum admin at XXXXX@email.com."

or couldnt you make a new group, and set it as the Start group

then give them no permissions, and call it say "Pending"

then you can set up a link to only show people in that group on the "Members List" page i think i saw you can show people in a certen group?

if not you could make your own page from it and set it as "WHERE Group_ID = [the new group's ID number here]"

then you can change the status of people to "Newbie" if you want to accept them, or you can delete them

i havent tested this, its just an idea i thought up so i dunno if it will work
