Automember module is a very usefull modul. It provides an addition to Drupal's rather poor registration-confirmation process
Unfortunately i could not figure how to setup an application: automatically granting new users a special role.
Any help to do this?

I second that.
I'm not sure if it requires some magical combination of settings in the module configuration or if i'm missing something somewhere else.
Here's an old support request
http://drupal.org/node/13943
seems to clear up a little for me. Basically it's going to give the role authenticated user to a new user AND add them to your other role. I just wish that it would not use authenticated user as the default. -- Or that it was configurable to say different things, just like 'anonymous' can be.
one more thing
It appears that the admin has to go into the settings and select the 'update' tab before anyone is granted access. There is also "Minimum hours between updating" which says, "The minimum number of hours before new post rates are calculated and disqualified users are removed from the target group". I'm not sure if that also applies to newly added users and if it also includes non-disqualified folk but new people.
I trimmed down what i was
I trimmed down what i was thinking was babble on my last post, but ended up deleting too much because i left something out that seemed to work. If you set the "Minimum hours between updating" to something short, I chose .1, it seems to give the desired status to new users. I suppose something like .01 could work too, I haven't tried that, but if it's doing a cron task that could tax the server (as could .1). Honestly other than it seemingly working by the next time i checked i don't know how the module functions under the hood.
