disabling VB code until after x posts

[leeds1]

Hi

I want to disable the use of VB code on my forum for new users. Say until they have posted 10 or 15 posts to cut down on spam links myself or my mods don't catch.

Is there a way to do this? As far as I can see VB code is either on or off for the whole forum

All help appreciated

Thanks

You can check out Disable vB code in posts? (http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=115770) but it seems that it might require some hacking. You might also check out vBulletin.org (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/portal.php)

I had a look but it didn't help

Is there a simple hack ?

I notice it's on here for up to 10 posts

Anyone care to share ?

You can use bbcodes here, just not the [url] one. For what you want to do, it would be much simpler. You could create a usergroup that can't use bbcode, assign users to that group by default, then use the usergroup promotions to automatically "promote" users to a different usergroup (with the appropriate permissions) when they hit a certain number of posts.
