ibrian Well-known member May 17, 2016 #3 Cheers for replying. Would have loved a simple way to do this by post count, rather than have to create a new user group which may seem a little too restrictive. Upvote 0 Downvote

I suggest using the First Post Email v1.5 add-on: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/first-post-email.3343/ This will alert an admin or moderators of the new members first post. This can help in two ways: 1) A speedy reply to the first post is good if coming from a non-spammer. 2) If spam is contained in the post, delete post and the spammer account. Upvote 0 Downvote
