I managed to get exactly this working without a hack. I needed to stop members with less than 3 posts from sending PM's or adding a signature.

I have a usergroup called "Signatures Allowed", only members in that group can send PM's or have a signature.
I added all my members with more than 3 posts to that as a secondary usergroup.
And finally I added an automatic promotion, so once a user hits 3 posts they are automatically promoted to "Signatures Allowed".

It took me less than 5 minutes to setup, vBulletin does this by default so I see no need to install a hack. Preventing a usergroup from sending PM's is also a default feature:


I guess the only reason why you need this hack is if you find it too hard to use the vBulletin AdminCP.
