XF 2.1 New posts with links approval

[gavpeds]

Hi all I am looking to move back to xenforo very soon. We currently have setup on our forum that the first 2 posts of new users have to be approved. How can I replicate this in xenforo, please? Just helps us weed out those that get past spam checks. This way we can generally minimise any spam actually getting on the forum.

That is done with user group permissions and promotions.

Ah, great thanks!

Group permissions only give you an on-off option for post moderation, unless you want to start creating new usergroups.

If you only want to moderate the first X posts, I use this to moderate only the first 5 posts:

An add-on is not required.

It requires a single additional user group only.

No it is not required but it does make things a lot easier.
