Post count suggestion

[evgen]

Hello, ipb-developers.
Maybe its already was, but i would like to see this thing in future versions of IPB:

1. Users who have less than X posts can't create new topics/post (global and per forum)
2. Users who have less than X posts can't view forums (per forum)

Thanks.

Just use group promotion to take care of this. Make your default 'Members' group not have the posting/viewing priveleges that they shouldn't have, then have them promote to a higher group with more priveleges after X number of posts. Just have to remember to allow the Members to post somewhere, or else they'll never get that promotion.

:lol:

You do realize, right, that if you can't post, then you will never make it to X posts to be able to post? Sounds like an infinite loop to me. :thumbs:

I was thinking the same thing.

In my case for example, keeping people from only posting in the advertising section by making them have X # of posts in the general arena.

I mean that if user have 0 posts, he cant answer to topics , BUT can create own topics! :rolleyes:

and second (most important): global control of post count for creating topics.



and one suggestion else: Invites
New registration disabled, but users, who already in forum can invite users to forum by some referal code.

Thanks

:lol:

nah, The idea could work but it would be too hard to add into 2.2 in RC3 Stage.

The referal idea can be done using mods.

Like I said in my post above, you can already do this using group promotion...

There is also a mod call Post N View

Which makes it so you need a minimum amount of post to enter a forum..

Just expande it to multiple forums

Cheers
