dont allow PM till minimum NO of posts?
 

Is there a way to set this?

I have a twit who registers, then starts hammering away with advertising to memebers till they eventually get banned, then register again and do it all over.

a minimum number of posts before PM would prevent this.

doable?

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 - xx
Promotion Strategy - Posts
Type - Primary
Move to - Whatever
Save

Usergroup Manager - go to edit Registred Users
Set it so they can't use the PM system
Save

Now new users with less than xx posts cannot use the PM system.

would be great if i could set

no posts
no links

till x posts for any user.

seems many would need it, and your solution though working, is the long way to shop.

Do a search on "permis*" in "all mods" "titles only" and you should find some modifications that deal with advanced permissions.

hmmn, seems i can only set as can not use the pm system, not can not send pms.... but can still receive?

Or have i got this mixed up?

I of course want to be able to send messages to new memebers who get warned or banned, who aren't allowed to pm.

ah, ok, i figure that moderators can send messages to people over quota so above issue not a problem..... but.... do this rule cover all new members as well as existing ones?
