Use Registration Codes to Fight Registration Spam and Manage Users

I missed this when it came out last year, but I found it by luck this morning and figured I’d share it: Michael Rog built Registration Codes, a great add-on that uses customizable registration codes to place users into member groups.

How does it work? You create a set of registration/invitation codes, and you give them out to people registering for your site. Based on what code you give them it will put them into member groups. (For instance, could give out a general code that will put people into a regular “Members” pool and give out, to a select few, a VIP code that will put them in a fancier group). The great thing is that you can set it so that if you don’t have a code, you won’t be able to register.

Registration Codes costs just $9, MSM compatible, and plays nice with the Solspace User module. Screenshots and purchase information are best found at Devot:ee, and documentation is at RogEE’s site.
