Hi,
This is my suggestion...
Make a group that is auto-subscribed when the user has 0 posts, and set the permissions for that group to be only able to view the 1 sub-forum where they can get their points from.
Go to points management, and set it to where when they post a topic, they get 500 points (in the first sub-forum).
Set the permissions to where other user's can't reply to topics, etc.
Then - make another new group, that auto-subscribes at 1 post.
Then set the permissions for that group to where they can't view the other sub-forum anymore (the one where they first posted) and make it to where they can view all the other sub-forums.
Congrats, they have 500 points!
You could make the first sub-forum something like an introduction forum, so they can introduce themselves and get their 500 points.
Hope that made sense.
I can set this up for you if you'd like! PM Me if so.
Good luck my friend!
