Email self enroll would be improved if an option was added for the administrator to approve the person before they had site access.

There are work arounds with this but should be in the core.

This could help against spammers, but I can see a problem that the admin will be faced with lots of people and no idea if they are spammers or not. Perhaps not so useful after all ...

I am certainly not a programmer, but it seems to me that some sort of check for course enrollment, and/or forum or assignment activity might help. I would think that this would differentiate between a spammer (who will likely ONLY have profile activity) and a real participant.

I think this is exactly what we are looking for. We want users to request enrollment in a course, but the instructor must then accept that enrollment. Is anything like that possible now?
