edit the email templates in the WA_UniversalEmail/Email_Templates for the registration and verification email so that they no longer send the email verification link.
set the cc option in the globals file so that site admin will be sent a cc email when a user registers, the admin-users update page does not have the ability to edit the email verified state, so you would need to log into the database directly to change this, or modify the users update page to add it in.
