    Yes, it is possible with the features already built into VB. You do not need to install any modifications to do this.

    Create a new group and call it something like "Full Member." Be sure to create a test user, assign that user to the "Full Member" group and test the permissions before you start assigning members to it.

    Create an automatic promotion based on post. This will promote members that have X number of post from registered members to full members.

    Edit the promotion cron job so it runs every 15 - 30 minutes. The default is every hour.

    Edit the registered members permissions so they can not post links or images.

    And your done.

    I have this same thing set up on my site. Members can not get into the chat room, play the arcade, send private messages or download files until they have three post. Doing this has also greatly increased my new thread and new post count. I also edited the forum rules people see when they register, welcome PM and welcome email, which explains the 3 post rule and guidelines. Inside of those three I added a link to the new member introduction section.

    You can't do that because vbulletin does not have a usergroup setting like "cant post links" or "cant post img tags" which is configurable per usergroup basis.

    It only has "can post attachment" settings that can be configured in the way you described. As for IMG tags it is general setting admin sets for entire board and as for posting links, there is no such setting at all.

    gree124's request can only be done by a hack like this:

    Looks like you are correct. I was looking at the signature permissions settings in the usergroup permissions.


    Here is another reference - http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=102993

    But I still recommend setting up a second group and using promotions based on post count to move the users to the full members group. This has also cut down on members signing up just to send private message spam. Which happened twice until I put this into effect.
