How do i stop members from being able to use private messaging until they have reached 50 posts?

is this a feature of vb or is there a hack needed or what?

thanks for your valuable time...

This may help - Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count (or you can do it by copying the Registered usergroup and then denying Registered users to use the PM system and then creating a promotion to move a user from the Registered users group to the New usergroup you created after they have 50 posts.)

unfortunately, it does not allow mods to contact those members via pm, nor does it advise the member that they will be able to pm after 25 posts...

so i am trying this script now, thanks for your help!

do you think this is the best one?
