First 10 Post Moderation

[DeXTeR27]

My apologies that this is my first post here. I have looked and looked but can't find an answer.

What I am looking to do is Moderate new members first 10 post. After that there post will no longer be moderated. How can I accomplish this.

Thanks

I am just leaving work so I probably will not reply tonight so I would like to say thanks in advance to any and all replies.

Set the registered users usergroup to be moderated then make a new usergroup & set it with the permissions you want then set up new promotion that moves reg users to the new group after 10 posts.

To set permissions on registered users:

admincp ==> Usergroup manager ==> Registered Users ==> Follow Forum Moderation Rules ==> Set To No(This setting causes posts to be moderated)

Then make a new usergroup (Name It Whatever You Want) Full Member is what I use.

admincp ==> Usergroup manager ==> (Your New Usergroup) ==> Follow Forum Moderation Rules ==> Set To Yes(This allows posting with no moderation)

Then make a new promotion.

admincp ==> Usergroups ==> Promotions ==> Add New Promotion ==> (Settings for new promotion below)

Change the options noted in red leave default noted in blue.

• Usergroup : Registered Users
• Reputation Comparason Type: Default
• Reputation Level : Default
• Days Registered : Default
• Posts : 10
• Promotion Strategy : Posts
• Promotion Type : Primary Usergroup
• Move Use to Usergroup : (Select whatever you named your new usergroup here).

Hope this helps you out any questions feel free.

I hope that's not a stupid question, but is it possible to do this the other way around? I really wouldn't want to touch the "registered user" group, but rather create a "newcomer" group for new members who get then automatically promoted to "registered user" after X posts.

Thanks, Tobias

No, it is not possible without hacking. The registered users group is hardcoded as the destination for new users.

OK thanks. Too bad.

Alternative idea - is it possible to have the registered user group show up with the user title "Newcomer", and assign the user title "Registered User" to whatever usergroup I create to promote new members to instead? I hope the distinction between user title and user group is not lost here.

What I generally want to avoid is any openly visible and possible irritating change in the accounts of existing forum users.

Of course you can. The title and even the name of the group are settable at the top of the options form for each group.
