Join Date: Jan 2006 Posts: 30 Location: Vancouver, Canada  | limit forum permissions by number of posts Does anyone know of a phpBB mod that would prevent users from posting in some forum or categories until they have a certain number of posts? I have this translation forum on my board and I am slowly growing weary of one-time posters asking for a translation and then leaving. I would be ecstatic if I could force them to make at least a couple of general posts before they request their translation and disappear forever. I looked through all of the phpBB mods but couldn't find any mod fitting my needs. I am hoping I missed it...

Then set it so that only the members group can post in certain forums (well members group or better). That should do exactly what you want, and wont require a mod, as its already part of phpbbs functionality | ||||

| The member group suggestion should work fine. Just disallow "Newbies" from posting in the specific boards you want, and require said number of posts to move out of the Newbie member group. No need to get a mod...

Join Date: Jan 2006 Posts: 30 Location: Vancouver, Canada | Thank you so much everyone! I tried auto group mod for the same purpose but it gave me lots of errors while not being supported by the developer anymore. awwible, I cannot find a way to do this through usergroups without any mods... I mean, I know how to do this I just need the users to be joined into those groups automatically, without any requests from their side. I also need everyone to be able to see the forum, just not post in it. I will try the suggested hack.

Join Date: Jan 2006 Posts: 30 Location: Vancouver, Canada | I installed the 'forum enter limit' hack - unfortunately it either hides the forum completely or gives full access to the users. What I need is for them to see the forum, without being able to post.. Thanks Ryan. I will try auto group again.
