Moderate Threads
 

I know you can set a thread to be moderated before it's visible. However, is there a way to set this for specific usegroups? I see you can do this for posts under Forum Permissions, but I don't want to moderate all posts, just new threads from specific usergroups. I can't seem to find a way to do this with vB or any mod that does this. Any help?

create that usergroop, set it up to follow moderators rules.

Create a promotion that when one reaches lets say 10 posts or 100 reputation or anything else you want he/she will be moved to "registered" usergroop.
