Self Registration validation?

[the_obs]

Hey all,
Is it possible to have an admin manually validate every user self registration before the user account becomes operational?
Also, is it possible to set a default "expiry date" for every new account?

Put new members into a group called i.e. "pending" and the move them manually to a group you want them to belong. Somewhere in the forum you will find some tips & tricks what to do if you want to generate an "auto" confirmation email using some Smarty stuff.
Oh, I thought this isn't nice so I digged up the thread. http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php?topic=43797.0
