Allow only 1 thread pr user in certain forum ?

[mindbuster]

How could i go about making it so a user can only make one thread in a certain forum, but is allowed to post in others threads in that specific forum ?

I would like to have it for a "Hi's and welcomes" forum.

You can't without writing a hack for it.

Maybe you can do something with usergroups though. the usergroup for new members (with 0 post) only have posting new thread permissions in the welcome forum. After 1 post they get promoted and the new usergroup can post on other places, post replies in the welcome forum, but not start new threads there.

Try something like that.

That's not what i mean, new users are allowed to make threads/post anywhere, what i want to prevent is that older users cant make threads in the "hi's and welcome" thread, i wanna restrict it to only thread pr user in that specific forum.

It's for use with uCS store hack, to award new members with a generous amount of points.

Hmm, maybe i should ask about how to give new signups starting points instead :ermm: (and maybe it's already been made :P )
