Approve Users on Sign up
Installation and Configuration
For me, this is about using the answers to the Ning signup questions in a meaningful way.
On Ning I used a two-step verification process.
Step One: the person signing up has to verify that the email address is really an email address.
Step Two: manual review of the answers to the questions on the signup form before accept/decline.
The best place to review what's in Step Two is on the page where you make the accept/decline decision, which is where it was on Ning.
It's easy to add questions to the signup form, though if the fields imported from Ning are readily accessible that would make the process easier and would allow integration of that information on the profile page (right now I only surface the country out of the location information).
Adding the fields to the email signup notify template (this email gets sent to both parties? Just to admins?) means I am switching back and forth between my email client and the new member approval page. That's not a deal breaker, but it does add time to an already tedious process.
