I was looking for something that makes a member unable to enter a section on the forum, Like General Chat etc until they have posted 1 post in the INtroduce your self section, these are just an example.

Anyone that can help me out on this?

You can use usergroups and promotions to make it so only users with x amount of posts may post in other forums. I think I've seen a mod like your Introduce one. Have you done a search in the Mods forums for it?

I try searching for Require X Posts but Vb.org doesen't allow that kind of search. I simply want the people to write in Introduce Your Self section before being able to write/post anything in other threads.

You need to leave the "x" out of your search terms.

I see mods for requiring x posts before using the PM system and similar, but as I said, usergroups and promotions will take care of the specific case you mention - must have one post prior to posting in other forums.
