[Aforo]

I didn't find this subject in other topic.

I need block private messages for new users until they have a limit of messages (for example 10 messages).

¿cpg-forum hasn't this option?

Any idea?

Maybe a feature request for Forum Plus?

Thank you, Layingback.

I think that can be useful. It's easy to do and is a good way for avoiding that new users can SPAM, without writting in the forum or new users go directly to ask to moderators.

If Admin is not interested in this feature, he can put to "0" this variable, and if is interested can put a "barrier" before using PM.

Allways thinking in spammers problem.

Provisional solution has been this one:

Edit the file: modules/Private_Messages/index.php

Insert only red lines:

Quote:

//
// Has admin prevented user from sending PM's?
//
if ( !$userdata['user_allow_pm'] && $mode != 'edit' ) {
$message = $lang['Cannot_send_privmsg'];
message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $message);
}
//
// Prevencion de Privado a usuarios con menos de $limit Mensajes en el foro
// Prevent sending PM's of user withe less than $limit Forum Messages
$limit=5; // Minimun Number of Messages in Forum for using Private Messages
if ( $userdata['user_posts'] < $limit && $mode == 'post' ) {
$message = $lang['Cannot_send_privmsg']."<br />No está permitido enviar <b>Mensajes Privados</b> a Usuarios con menos de <b>$limit Mensajes</b>. Envía tus consultas al Foro.<br />Is Not Allowed sending <b>Private Messages</b> to users with less than <b>$limit Messages</b> in the Forum. Send your questions to the Forum.";
message_die(GENERAL_MESSAGE, $message);
}
//
// Start output, first preview, then errors then post form
//

New users can not init a conversation until they reach 5 messages in the forum, but they can replay.

After the first 5
