Can I limit access to a forum depending upon number of posts made?

[swimclub]

I would like to limit access to an off-topic forum on my site to those members who have posted more than 50 on-topic posts.

Is there any way of doing this?

Thanks,

Chris

Default usergroup -> no access.
Then make a new usergroup that has access.

Now make a new promotion for the default usergroup, based on postcount.

So when user in default usergroup reaches X posts, they get upgraded to the second usergroup, and gets access to the forums.

You could create a new usergroup, that has permission to access this forum. Next setup a promotion from Registered Users to the new usergroup after 50 posts. Last step is to set the permissions for the Registered Users usergroup to not allow them to access this forum.

OK. Next question. How do I move all those members with greater than 50 posts already straight into the new Usergroup that has access to the off-topic forum?

Thanks,

The will be moved automatically when the Promotion Scheduled Task is run.
