Restrict Registration

   Is it possible to restrict registration, so that only the admin can create new users? I want to run a small invitation-only forum with bbpress.

   I would just turn off registration (remove all links to the registration form) and then user something like this plugin to create the user accounts:

   http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/admin-add-user/

   That is an old plugin but instructions on how to make it work for 1.0.2 are in the comments.

   I thought there was a plugin by user zaerl that could help but I can't find it right now.

   No no. My plugin just remove all fields in registration page except user name and email. Nothing more.

   That can be achieved by this patch - http://trac.bbpress.org/attachment/ticket/538/bbp_538_stas.diff

   One of the major things that bbPress doesn't do well is make the forum easy to moderate in anyway. 7 clicks and 4 pages to delete 1 user, and no ability to mass delete is mental.

   If you have a forum that needs constant moderation for any reason, bbpress might not be the best solution sadly :(
