Hi guys,

Everyone should now have the power to approve new member accounts.  Please check your account to see if I did it right.

When approving new forum accounts, please follow these guidelines:

1. If you see a member tab for both "Awaiting Approval" and "Awaiting Activation", only go through the "Awaiting Approval" list (it's up to the user to activate their own membership after we verify it)
2. When approving accounts, look for obvious signs that the account Username or Email Address is SPAM - though we shouldn't have much trouble with SPAM now that I use custom sign-up questions.
3. Also look for real accounts which have inappropriate usernames – the amount of inappropriateness is subjective of course, but I don't want anyone to have offensive, racist or usernames that are directly targeted towards other members. 
4. If the account(s) looks good, choose "Approve and require activation".

Anyone now should also have the power to approve deletion of accounts as well.

Works.  I got an e-mail notifying me of a new member.

Added another step to watch out for in my last edit.
