Make newly registered members moderated?
 

I would like to make all newly registered members to only be allowed to post in my Introductions forum AND that the thread they post HAS to be moderated (approved/denied) by a mod/admin, then once they are approved (they have 1 post) they can post/view all the other sections of the forum.

I'm just a little confused on how to set this up, thank you!

Set the usergroup permissions and the forum permissions for newly registered usergroup. Then create a promotion to promote them into another usergroup with more permissions after they have made the required number of posts.

Go to Usergroup Manager > Add New Usergroup
Create Usergroup Based On - Registered Usergroup > Go
Give it a new name - Whatever
Create Permissions Based off of Usergroup > Registered Usergroup
Save

Now make a Promotion (Usergroups > Promotions)
Add New
Usergroup - Registered Users
Posts - 1
Promotion Strat - Posts
Type - Primary
Move to - Whatever
Save

Usergroup Manager - go to edit Registred Users
Follow Forum Moderation Rules - No
Save

Go to Forum Permissions
Disallow them to See any other forums except the one you want
