Implemented Posting limitations....

[Paul]

Not sure if it has been brought up recently, however how about something that limits a users posts in a certain category until such time as they have racked up a number of posts in other categories...

Something like was done here :

You can accomplish this using user group promotions and permissions.

Nooo do it like ... vb... group promotions get too complicated... post count is much better

 

[Jeremy]

You can promote based on posts, add a secondary group that provides elevated posting permissions on the nodes you wish. It allows you to easily expand and control what you want and is how the permission systems were designed.

So basically I have to have a registered 1 groip and a registered 2 group?

 

[Jeremy]

Every member of your site should be a member of registered as their primary (including staff) and you add secondary user groups to elevate permissions. So if your moderators have no elevated permissions besides forum moderation permissions, you only set the permissions under Forum Moderator Permissions and nothing else. Then your moderators have the Primary Group of Registered and a secondary group of Moderating. The same applies to this type of situation, where your secondary group perovides only the elevated permissions you want for specific nodes (and nowhere else).

If I do that then.. moderator ribbon wont show up on there postbit. I have everybody on 1 group I dont use the secondary

 

[Jeremy]

It will show up.

You're really missing a trick if you're not using any secondary user groups. This gives you great control on who gets which permissions easily.
