 * Hi – Thanks for the great plugin that has really solved the problem of how to
   allow users to register, login and manage their profile.
 * Can I ask if there is a way I can have admin manually approve new users and also
   if there’s a way of preventing spam (or at least minimising) registrations via
   the register.php page?
 * Many thanks.
 * Stuart

 * Thanks, glad it is working for you.
 * since bbpress just uses WordPress registration, this will do what you want

 * Hi Robin,
 * Many thanks for that information. While I have you can I also pick your brains
   on a couple of other aspects. My client, a charity, would like to know a little
   about the people who register BEFORE approving them. Is there a way to incorporate
   a profile / a bit about you field in the initial registration?
 * And also, any way of fighting spam registrations?
 * Thanks a lot in advance,
 * Stuart

 * Your client might be a charity, but you are close to the limit of making me one
   🙂
 * bbpress just uses WordPress registration, and there are plenty of worpdress plugins
   free and paid out there to do this stuff, and plenty of code solutions

 * ‘worpdress registration extra fields’
 * and
 * ‘WordPress registration stop spam’

 * If you’d like me to work on a paid solution, I’d be happy to help
