I've seen some forums have this option and I find it very useful. However, I didn't find a plugin or something to do it. What do I need to to is basicly, when a new user registers, if he posts any links, an error message to show saying that you are not allowed to post any links until you have made x posts or have been registered for y days.

My only fix, somehow close to this was to create an usergroup that doesn't have the right to post links and after x posts, to automaticall move him in another usergroup that it's allowed. However, the error message is very important since it warns to user. many users just log of and never come back.

Tnx in advance

There are a couple of mods for this. I have coded 2 as well, one for each restriction, for the post number and registered days.
