User registration settings
new member post limit
Set that to 2
Then, once 2 posts have been approved, users will be free to post.
By default everyone will go in to both the registered users and newly registered users groups. When they get 2 posts, they drop out of the newly reg'd group and can post as much as they like without approval.
For people that are currently in the Newly reg'd group (NRU) that you want to allow to post, you can just remove them from that group.
Manage groups
Click members next to the NRU group, select who you want and choose remove from group at the bottom.
Then you have the permissions set up incorrectly somewhere.
Just a minor point - the approving of posts is a Moderator permission not an Admin one. Presumably you are the founder which means that you have both Admin and Moderator permissions.
I don't know what the default is for first user but founder status does not necessarily give you moderator privileges. It gives you complete access to the ACP whether the user belongs to admin group or not and can only be managed by other founders. What I like to suggest is find a an old account that was never activated, change the email and password. Give the account founder status and activate it. If you ever lose control of your main account you can use that account to get into the ACP. It's only possible to determine it's founder account through an SQL query or individually checking every account through the ACP.
On every board I have installed since I don't know when, the initial user that is created (i.e. Founder) has full Admin permissions and Global Moderator permissions (i.e. they are in the Global Moderators group). If you make another member a founder then you have to set the permissions either manually or by group.thecoalman wrote: ↑Tue Jul 26, 2022 11:15 am I don't know what the default is for first user but founder status does not necessarily give you moderator privileges
That's what I thought but I checked just in case: installed a new board and yes: the initial founder is member of the Administrator and of the Global Moderator group.david63 wrote: ↑Tue Jul 26, 2022 11:34 am On every board I have installed since I don't know when, the initial user that is created (i.e. Founder) has full Admin permissions and Global Moderator permissions (i.e. they are in the Global Moderators group).
