Default How can I prevent new user fro posting for X days?

Hi,

I would like to create a rule:
After a new user registered he wouldn't have the ability/permission to post for X days (force them to read stuff before he posts something)

After X days he would be promoted to regular user (Registered Users as it appear in the default user group)

Thanks
Maayan

Have you looked into the Group Promotion?

Yes, I've created a new user group and a promotion rule for new users from the new group that I've created to the regular user group. The thing is that I don;t understand how where I can define that a new users will go to the new users group..

You did it backwards. Your new group is where you would get promoted *to* not from. Users go into the Registered usergroup, then after x posts, they get moved to the New User group.

So, if I get it right, I need to changed to permission of the regular Registered Users so it won't be able to post stuff and after X days I promote the user (using user promotions) to a brand NEW group that I need to create that is properties are identical to the regular user group that I'm using today? Do I get it right?

If so I would also have to move all my users that are currently in Registered Users to the new group.. How do I do that?

Thanks

That's right, except of course the new group has the extra permission to allow posting.

If you go to the scheduled task manager and do "Run Now" for the User Promotions task, that should promote everyone who qualifies.
