Is there an option or a modification for these?
 

I have 2 instances I wish to have looked at.

First : On our board new registries are required to make an introduction. Where I find a great deal are not. Is there a way not to force but limit them to that particular forum and make an introduction before they can venture on to the discussion areas?

Second: Is there a option where a forum can be introduced for members who want to discuss/debate a particualr instance with the moderators and or administrator(s) without an audience from other members. Any member can make their post yet limit the viewing of that post to the originator, the mods and admins?

Any assistance on these areas would be greatly appreciated.

Limit the "Registered Usergroup" to only post in the Introduction forum. Create a new usergroup with permission to post in the discussion areas. Create a Promotion to promote members with 1 post in the "Registered Users" usergroup to the newly created one.

Thanks mate perfect solution. Much appreciated.
