What does it do?
This mod allows you in the Admin Control Panel to require your users to have X amount of posts before they can use the PM system.
Why make this?
Some boards have a lot of people join their sites just to PM certain people about hacks/mods/downloads/tutorials, etc. It will be helpful to keep them out a little bit or atleast earn posts, from this.
Edits
1 in private.php.
1 in /includes/config.php (debug mode, then it's taken out).
1 phrase added.
1 administration option added.
Notes
- No copyright notification required
- No credit required in any form
- I'm not sure if this has been done before, but I don't think so. Sorry if so.
Sources
EvilLS1's template for instructions.txt - Did this without asking, but I'm sure it's nothing he's going to kick my shins for, as it's just a template for instructions.
In your includes/config.php before you start this hack add anywhere in the file in between <?php and ?>
PHP Code:
$debug = 1;
After your done with this hack, please be sure to take it out.
Screenshots and text file are attached.

I am still pretty new with the system, so yeah I guess what I said makes no sense at all.. is there anyway I can request this hack to be deleted?
Don't delete it......no hack is a bad hack. I certainly have a use for this, as I have over 35 usergroups.....it's a pain in the arse to set up permissions for each group, then add promotions for each group. Yes, I can do it that way......but your hack has saved me about an hour and a half! Thank you!

Buc thats what "Base usergroup off of" and "Base usergroup permissions off of" are for
Zach, what would you do if they are already created? Also.. did no one seem to notice I'm going update this soon (Says in the text file) that you can't send PM's to a user who can't use PM system yet?
Eh, why are you people so nasty to him...Personally I find this useful, when my board gets bigger i'll probaly use it to lower bandwidth, in a small way ^^

IMO the promotions route is a lot more comprehensive and at the end of the day the little time taken to do it means greater benefits for all. I know, I've done both methods on my board.
Hate to say this, but yet another useless hack. Somthing that can be acomplished by default within vBulletin 3's system.
How you ask?
Usergroup Promotions:
Default usergroup gets NO pm permissions
add a secondary usergroup that has PM's enabled
Add a promotion to add user to new group when XXX posts number is reached
The Best Thing About This Is People Cant Go To Your Board And Spam Your PM's...
Require X posts before user can use PM system. Details »»
