Only active users can access this forum

Is there a way to set a list of parameters to being 'active' (i.e. posting, liking posts, commenting etc) and set a forum area to only allow access for active users?

i.e.

PRIVATE FORUM is only accessible by users who have posted at least 10 times in the last week

 

Does this exist or can it be done with rules?

Yes I think you'd be able to do this using the new Group Promotion feature, which allows you to set up rules that moves members between groups based on criteria.

What you'd need to do is create a new member group that has access to your private forum. Then, set up a group promotion in the AdminCP that add this new group as a secondary group to members who have posted in the past 10 days. By having this secondary group assigned to them, those members will be able to access your private forum.

You'll also want to set up a second rule that removes the secondary group, because group promotions don't automatically reverse the changes when members no longer match the filter.

Hope that helps!
