I think user, because sometimes when you can't get online too accept registrations people join and they give up and dont bother coming back. I would only put on admin if theres a big group of spammers coming too the board, but then i turn it off the next day or so. But thats never happened. |

Neither. If they use a fake email it's a loss for them because then they don't get mass emails. |

I'd agree with you there. Or if you get on holiday you need to get someone else to validate them for you too.

I've got a board which I made with another classmate for my friends to ponder through. Eventually one wise guy told the grade. Soon enough, everyone was trying to register with names like "Thisforums**ks" and "Youguysareallf**s". Bottom line, Admin validation is a necessity if you want to mantain any privacy in your forum. |

I always use "User" validation. Saves time.

I would say email validation is better so people dont register with fake emails. But with admin validation, you can't tell if they are fake. :/ But with admin validation, you might miss people (Being away ect...;) ). The good thing of admin validation is you can stop spammers. So I would go with email validation.

I assume you mean a fake. If they use a fake email address they wont receive the link in order to validate their registration. |

Nothing is foolproof. This just adds an extra level of protection. Its like saying its silly to lock your door, because someone could always break it down. |

A combination of the two would be great! They have to approve their email, then be approved by admin. ![]() *Waits for Requests to re-open :D* |
