Hello,
I am in the process of evaluating vBulletin to create an end-user forum for the company that I work for. I had several questions that I was hoping you could help address.
1. We would like to require approval for all user registrations. Is this doable?
2. If (1) is doable, can we set up a way to reject personal emails? For example, if a user attempts to register with a personal email, he/she would get a message saying that it is not accepted. We would like users to register using work/school emails only.
3. During the registration process, can we include a mandatory dropdown that the user must select with what type of user they are? For example, the user could select whether they are an industry professional, student, academia, or prospective customer. When we review their registration, we want to be able to see their selection and assign the correct roles and privileges to that user.
4. Is there a way to award badges or titles to top contributors? We would like something like this to award participation and provide incentives to post.
5. Is the "Branding Free" add-on available for vBulletin Cloud?
6. Can we add a sliding banner with announcements at the top? We don't want to rely on an "Announcements" forum section for this since that would decrease visibility.
7. Can we add our own advertisements to the forum? Again, this should appear as like a sliding banner or an image off to the side with a link to an off-site. We don't want to rely on a forums section for advertising our products/services.
