I'm not quite sure if this is a stupid question or not, but I thought I had it figured out and now I seem to be brainfarting. Id like to binc User Titles to Specific User Groups and permissions relating to their post ability.
For example, I created a user title called "New to Forum" with a post requirement of 0 and a user title called "Rookie" with a post requirement of 3 and so on. Id like to resctrict those people that are registered but have not posted and have only posted once or twice to only be able to post in one certain forum.
I created a user group and went through and set permissions for each forum for that user group that allowed them to view all forums and threads but only allowed them to post into the designated Newbie Section. The problem I have is trying to automatically bind the people with the "New to Forum" user title to the "New to Forum" user group. I thought of changing the default "Registered" group to only be able to post in the Newbie Section, but from as far as I can tell, an admin would have to manually change their group to allow them to post in other sections, even after their user title would automatically change to the next level.
Like I said, there may be a very simple solution to this problem that I'm overlooking but any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Oh, and it's not that I'm too lazy to change group permissions on users, but we get about 30-50 new signups per day and monitoring whos posted what and changing groups manually would be a terrible pain in the ass. Thanks again for any insight.
