Hi deadhook,

Sorry RZ500 had it right but its not that much work really.

You will need to make a new usergroup and set up a promotion but the new usergroup is for your old members not the new ones.

1. setup a new usergroup with normal permissions
2. Change the permissions in the old registered users usergroup to exclude the area you want to exclude new members from.
3. set up a promotion so that anyone with the 20 posts can be promoted from the registered users to the new usergroup.
4. Go to schedule tasks and run the user promotions task this will move all your old members to the new usergroup in one hit.

If you have altered or added a new user title then you will also have to update the titles from admin cp as well but that is also a one hit job.

I had this set up on my forum and it works well.

Good luck

Tinks
