Description
This plugin forces your newly registered users to post in your introduction forum (or specified forum). Until they post in your specified forum, they cannot post or create new threads anywhere else, they cannot access usercp and they cannot send private messages. The error message that is displayed is completely customizable via ACP.

UPDATED 21st June 2012: Added a language file.
UPDATED 19th June 2012: Fixed an issue where guests get an error.
UPDATED 13th July 2012: Added an ACP setting where you can now set a character limit in your introduction thread.

Excellant plugin we use this system on our board but dispite new members emails being sent out and also site notice informing new members that they need to make an intro post first quite a few times this fails to happen.

With this plugin it will save all that hassle and now new members cannot fail to get the message they must post an intro post first before access to rest of forum.

Yes, this will sort out the men from the boys lol

This is the PERFECT plugin to keep spammers out! See lately people have joined, not posted once obviously, and set their website in UCP to some place where you can download movies for free! I couldn't figure out how to stop them, but this will do the trick >:-D

EDIT: NVM, premium plugin This is almost worth sobscribing for by itself though...

Yes its premium. But it really sorts out the spammers among other things too.

I have just installed this but its asking guests to leave an introduction too when they don't have permission to post. Is there anything to stop this please so its just registered members only.

[Echo]

I've actually updated this plugin to fix that issue but havnt uploaded it here yet. I'll get it uploaded today at some point. Sorry about that.

Is it possible to set this so members can view posts but cant actually make posts untill an introduction is made at the moment members cant even read threads before making one
