Prevent members from starting new threads

Featured Replies

We have a poster that is a good poster, but he starts the worst threads. We are trying to not ban him, but is there a way to take away thread starting ability?

I created a group for it, but I can't find New Threads as a right that can be assigned.

Please let me know if I am missing something, thanks.

You will need to create a group for the individual (sounds like you already did) then go to ACP -> Members -> Groups -> on the group in question -> click Permissions (padlock icon) -> for Forums, make sure that "Start new topic" is unchecked for all forums you want it to be.
