Moderate 1st post

[silks]

i get problems at the moment with a certain user posting - they will create a username and then post stupid comments

i know i could moderate new users but i find when i use this feature the people who join tend not to come back

so what i would like to see is new users 1st post (moderated) and then they can be allowed to post as usual

- please feel free if u have any other ideas around this - thanks

It's called moderate threads, it comes with vBulletin as default.
It should be under Forum Manager > Select your forum > Option 'Moderate New Threads' set to yes.

Thanks thats great and i never knew that option was there

would be good if it didnt apply to every post - ie: a users 2nd or 3rd post

thanks for pointing that out though

Hi Dismas..

is there any option that only 1st post of new members should be moderated?

Thanks

Set it so that registered member's posts are moderated.

Create a new usergroup with permissions set so that they are not moderated.

Create a promotion so that once a user has posted once, they are promoted from the registered users to this new usergroup.
