View Full Version : Ban Message Instead of Access Message

I wanted to make new users introduce themselves in a particular forum before they could post elsewhere.

I made a new usergroup with the same permissions as Registered Users called it "Initiated Users".

Then I limited the permissions of registered users to only be able to post new threads and only in an introduction forum, with no permission to post elsewhere on the site.

Then I set up a usergroup promotions to promote users with 1 post to the new usergroup (that had the same permissions as "Registered Users" used to.)

When a regular clicks on "Reply with Quote" on a message in a forum, they get this message:


You have been banned for the following reason:
No reason was specified.

Date the ban will be lifted: Never
.

Rather than a message telling them that they don't have access because they need to post an introduction (the sufficient privileges message in other words).

How can I fix this?

Thanks!!
