What I did is create a group that automatically adds users once they reach a certain # of posts, then went to permissions and only allowed that group.

Create a new group(Users&Groups -> Group Administration -> Create new group)

Set minimum posts for this group.(1)

Go to General -> Categories and Forums -> Any forum(what you need to hide) -> Permissions
Protected Forum Forum_zps7092ecdf

Remove the tick from introduction forum in the permissions tab, so it seen for newbies. Tick every other forum for this group, then everyone who got minimum 1 post seen everything.

I hope it helps.

You are correct, Vampir3, you do need to untick the forums you do not want new members to see until they have x number of posts & tick the introduction forum.
