The current best practice in our software would be to have a new member group which you promote members into once they have reached an approved post (or similar). That new member group would have the more elaborate permissions, such as no content moderation, ability to send messages, etc...

Hi @peter gariepy,

I would definitely go down the path of setting up a new member group for members that have made the required posts to enable private messaging. Edit your existing default member group to "Newbies" or whatever and promote to the new group after x posts.

If you want to remain contactable for guests or new members just in case, you can still do so by enabling the Contact Us setting (AdminCP -> System -> Settings -> Contact Us). Obviously assuming you haven't already done so, but if you have, then you will provide your members a means of contacting you. Another way is to set up a forum that this "Newbies" group can view, read and post to, but no other member group can.
