Questions Before Joining?

I'm not sure if this would belong in the Code board or this one. So I will try to post it here. 

I was wondering if there was some way to have new potential members answer questions before joining a forum.

They have this option before accepting people on Facebook groups where you ask questions they need to answer before you approve them or not. So I thought that would be cool to be able to ask question for people that want to join a forum.

Anyone?

Short answer: kinda.

Longer answer: If you turn on "Restricted Registrations" in your admin panel, you can elect to have a message for registrants that they have to answer. It's not very robust, unfortunately, just a simple text field.

My work around for this would be to put in a link (they would have to copy paste it into their browser, as it won't be hyperlinked due to it being a plaintext message) to a google form for them to fill in, with whatever questions you want them to answer, and then approve/deny their registration based on their responses.

Unfortunately there's no way a plugin can be created for this, as we cannot affect the login or registration pages—they're housed separately from your forum proper and we have no access to them from a coding perspective.
