The Arcive of vBulletin Modifications Site.

Hey all,

Is there a way I can moderate the first posts of newly registered users to verify they are going to be contributing members and not just a member coming to spam his links ?

I had a system set up on my site that would do that. This is what I did:

Go to Usergroup Manager > Add New Usergroup
Create Usergroup Based On - Registered Usergroup > Go
Give it a new name - Whatever
Create Permissions Based off of Usergroup > Registered Usergroup
Save

Now make a Promotion (Usergroups > Promotions)
Add New
Usergroup - Registered Users
Posts - 1
Promotion Strategy - Posts
Type - Primary
Move to - Whatever
Save

Usergroup Manager - go to edit Registred Users
Follow Forum Moderation Rules - No
Save
