    Hello,

    Is there a way to set the private messaging option so new users need a certain number of posts before they can send a PM?

    Thanks

    AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Add New Usergroup

    Create a usergroup named 'Active Members'.
    Copy all the permissions from the 'Registered Users' usergroup.

    Now disable the Private messaging permissions from the Registered Users usergroup.

    Last step:

    Create a 'Promotion' (AdminCP -> Usergroups -> Promotions) so that whenever a user gets x no. of posts,
    his account gets upgraded to the 'Active Members' usergroup.

    Thats it! :)
