I'm interested to know if Vbulletin provides an out of the box solution to limit the PM system from being utilized by brand new accounts? If not, can someone point me to a mod that is compatible with 3.8.2 which allows me to set a maximum post limit before a registered user can access the PM system. This would help me out a lot from stupid spam accounts which gain access to the board and then embarrass me by sending out spam messages to everyone on the board.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
