Hi,

is there any way to restrict a forum to only allow postings when the users already has made a number of posts? I have a buy/sell subforum and many people only create an account, post 1 sell offer and will never be seen again. This is not the community I want.

Create a usergroup based on registered.
I have mine named registered30 because certain functions are disabled for 30 days.

Then edit your permissions for registered so they can't post in specific forums.
Create a promotion after x posts, move to registeredx.
Those will be your previous registered permissions.

There is a how to thread on vb.com. I'm too lazy to look for it. Sorry.

Try this, I'm quite certain there is one for 3.8 if your using that.

It works well for me.

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