You can control how readers become members of your forum.
Anyone on the Internet can read your forum. If readers wish to join the conversation, and add posts to your forum, they need to register and become members.
You can control how the registration process on your forum works.
Open Registration
If you wish, readers can create member accounts for themselves without your assistance. This allows readers to immediately join your forum and begin submitting posts.
Moderated Registration
Or, if you prefer, you can review each new application for a member account, and decide whether to approve or deny that application.
Readers are encouraged to include a note with their application to explain their interest in your forum.
You'll also get the readers IP address. By clicking on this number, you can see where the applicant is located geographically. This might be useful if you wish to limit your forum to residents of a particular city, state, country etc.
Switch Back And Forth
You can switch back and forth between Open Registration and Moderated Registration with one click in your forum owner control panel.
This might come in handy if you wish to review applications when you are available, but allow open registrations when you are not available.
