I meant before a new member can post a link, or send PM etc, they must make at least 5 posts on the forum.

This is mainly intended to prevent spams. As we have seen some spammers sign up and then posts same post with lot of links. This will prevent this situation.

I think you should increase it to minimum 15 posts. 5 is too less and anybody can do it for doing spamming. What you think Manik?

exactly i seen more spammer i think min 15 post is great idea for that....

The problem is, a lot of spammers just post 'thx for info' in threads, which makes it pretty easy for them to rack up a lot of posts.

15 probably is little too high. We dont wanna scare away good people who just wanna be part of the member. Spammers would never try to spend time doing some posts just to pass the minimum I think.

Lets see how it goes first. If doesn't work, then we can change it.

I think it should increase to 30. By this we will get quality post and best members too.

So far its working great. I think we should set a minimum of 5 posts to have signatures

I think it will be better to add this 5 post restriction to use signature also.
Or you can just make the signature link no-follow till the poster have <5 posts.
