lock/freeze post count

[snyx]

any easy way to lock up or freeze a users post count?
this would be handy as I have alot of readers and small posters who want their counts locked at 420

Make a new profile field they can edit in usercp if they wish to be locked at 420

Make the options Yes No

Make sure you look up the field number

Open includes/function_newpost.php

Find

		$DB_site->query("
			UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "user SET
				$doposts
				$dotitle
				lastpost = " . TIMENOW . "
			WHERE userid = $bbuserinfo[userid]
		");

Above it add

if ($bbuserinfo[fieldnumber]=='Yes' AND $bbuserinfo[posts] >= 420)
{
$doposts = 420;
}

Replace the above with the correct field number it shows in profile field area exp field4

Hope that helps.

this won't work on the new vb3.03 it seems.. that or my options to make it non-user selectable didn't work.

I don't want my users to be able to freeze their own count.
Plus I wouldn't mind the choice of freezing it at different #'s
