IveLeft... Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Ok, we had in the older 4.5 (I think) a system set up where a new member was a NEWBIE and they couldn't post links and various other stuff, We upgraded to 4.6.8 and now 4.6.9 and we were getting a lot more first post spammers with links so the upgrade broke this rule (group promotion) setting. Looking at Group promotions - Our promotion is still there but because of the new badges system all areas were blank so a new member joins as a newbie and automatically as there is nothing to say different in group promotions becomes a member with privileges I have now added a 2 post badge and put this as a group promotion into the system which is now working again You may want to look at this chaps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Stridgen Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I have not seen any other reports of this happening here. Sorry to see you were having issues. Could you let me know the exact rules you had set up, and I can certainly then try to replicate it. It would however seem likely that its something that has happened on your own instance during upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IveLeft... Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) I dont know as it was 4.5.x All I do remember is they were a NEWBIE on joining with restrictions and on making two posts were prompted to MEMBER where they could post links And on upgrade all members joining go straight to MEMBER I think I may have an old db backup if thats any good ?

No need really. I will do some testing here and see how I get on with that. If its specific only to your own upgrade, it wouldnt need much doing here. If its not, I should be able to replicate anyway. Thank you anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Marc Stridgen Posted January 18, 2022 Solution Share Posted January 18, 2022 Just to update here, I was not able to replicate the issue in my own testing, so it seems it was indeed just your instance there. SeNioR- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
