    55Even though the ticket is specifically designed to improve the management of signups from a site admin back-end point of view, I think functions that you've introduced such as {{{check_user_status}}} pave the way for a far more friendly front-end registration process.

    7 For instance, if a user with {{{user_status == 2}}} were able to sign in before activating their account - {{{check_user_status}}} could be used to disable important functionality such as compose messages, update profile, activity comment etc whilst still allowing them to browse around as a logged in member. I've found the requirement to visit their email account and click the activation link before they can log in is off-putting for a subset of users - almost like closing the door in their face. Giving them a 'logged-in glimpse' of what they can do on the website might motivate more users to visit their email and hit the activation link.
