XF 1.4 Mandatory introduction via permissions?

[LuvMeSumZen]

I'm trying not to use add-0ns for things that can be accomplished with the core tools. Can the the perms be set in a way that forces new users to make their first post in the intro forum?

Yes.

Revoke permissions for all other forums for the Registered user group.
Apply a user group promotion after one post to a user group which has the permissions set to Allow.

Can I revoke them via category as well to cover the child nodes in that parent, or do I need to do it for each individual forum?

category should be enough as long as the child nodes are set to inherit permissions

Matt I was going to try this - I didn't want to bug you about it. But it looks more involved than it sounds I think will wait for you to do it. I can look at how you did it later and learn it that way if that's okay with you.
