Since many forums here at WT require certain post counts for various features, ads, etc. I figured that a modification that would restrict member permissions from accessing certain modes (Thread creation, post replies, etc.) would be useful for everyone.

Here is just a snippet of what this vbulletin mod does:

This product allows you to set permissions based on user’s post count for:
-viewing forum (threads listing),
-viewing threads content,
-creating new threads,
-replying to threads,
-viewing attachments,
-Viewing/Posting links/images and e-mail addresses,
-sending private messages,
-sending e-mails.

This will disallow members with no permissions to view forums/threads/posts/links through normal view, printthread, search, archive*, thread preview. Note that you can set Forum/Thread Permissions for each forum/sub-forum separately. Screenshot shows additional options in Forum Manager and error messages shown to user when trying to view restricted area.

*-When you set in some forum "Minimum Post Count To View Thread Listing In This Forum" option to different value than "0" guests will not be able to see thread listing in that forum through Archive. For logged-in users this function works normally regarding user's post count.
-When you set in some forum "Minimum Post Count To View Threads Content In This Forum" option to different value than "0" guests will not be able to read threads in that forum through Archive. For logged-in users this function works normally regarding user's post count.

I think this mod could really help cut down on things like web host advertisments and website review suggestions.

Thanks a lot - I will raise this issue in the staff forum as we've been looking for code/mod to do this for some time

THank you. It looks like a "spam site" sortof inthe webhosting offers board as It gets confusing with how many threads get deleted its time consuming I'm sure for the mods and this would realy help.
