You can edit the registered user group to suit your needs.
I once had a groups called registered2 where it was the same as registered.
I changed registered to moderate all posts. After x days or x posts I set a promotion to registered2 so they can post as they pleased.

What are you looking to do?

I want when people join to go into a usergroup where they cannot post for the first day, after 24 hours they will be promoted to the normal registered users group.

Make sense?

Sure. That is sort of what I did.
Add a new usergroup copying the registered usergroup.
At the bottom of the create a new usergroup you will see
Create Permissions Based off of Usergroup: Registered
Name it registered2 (or whatever you want)

Edit the registered usergroup.
Post / Thread Permissions: NO.

Set up a promotion greater or equal to, days registered to 1.
Promotion Type Primary Usergroup to Registered2.

Now someone can view the board but can't post for 1 day.

EDIT: Are you going to let guests view your board?
