New Users Ghosting

[upirate]

If someone registers and Im not sure if they are spammers, I want to put them in a ghosting field. Meaning only they can see their own posts until I approve them.

Any mod like that ?

thanks

It's a manual process, but you could just tachy them.

vBulletin Options - User Banning Options - Tachy Goes to Coventry

equal to one. You could set up a new user group and put their number of posts at zero. Then after they have one post you can "Promote" then in "Usergroups".

Now, make sure in V-B Options - User Registration Options, that you have Moderate new users checked "Yes".

So here's what you can do:

1) Set the new usergroup. V-B Admin CP - Usergroups - Add New Usergroup. Add the Group; you might want to base it from Registered Users.

2) Under "Usergroups" click on "User Promotions". Now, you have to add two promotions.

The first one: At the top choose the Registered users. Then put in the number of posts you want for the Promotion; in this case zero. Then choose the
"Promotions Strategy" based on Posts. Promote to the new usergroup you added. Save.

The second promotion is to promote them into the Registered Usergroup:

Similar to above but: At the top choose the new Usergroup you added. Then put in the number of posts you want for the Promotion; in this case one. Then choose the "Promotion Strategy" based on Posts. Promote to the new usergroup you added. Save.

One problem is whenever you get a new member their first post is going into the Moderation Queue.

BTW, it's a lot more simple than it sounds. I think ........
