I have looked at the thread previously about this
https://help.forumotion.com/t107056-new-registered-users-auto-subscribe-to-group?highlight=auto+subscribe+to+group
and read the tutorial
https://help.forumotion.com/t57913-auto-subscribe-to-groups
however I would like to have my new members post in a section that is not visible to the rest of my members until I have determined if they are trolls. Sadly I have a group of 3 or 4 people who seem intent on causing trouble and disruption.
the info in the tutorial is quite helpful apart from the fact it needs to use the auto subscribe function from zero and when I have done that in a trial it just adds everyone on the forum, and the point is I do not want the rest of the forum being exposed to the rubbish these trolls spout.
Is there any way that you can set a maximum number of posts that will get auto added to a group.
also if I set it to 1 post it means the new posters cannot post anyway as I do not let normal members post, they have to be added to members group after their initial post.
At the moment the only way new members can post is by adding themselves to the new members group and waiting for me to validate their request. As I do not have moderators it depends on when I am online as to how long they have to wait to post their first post.
alternatively is there a way to auto unsubscribe people from groups?
