		Currently, there is no such option or solution, but only custom add-on would be possible to implement.

		With the recent spammers who first register and wait for some time to spam, I thought it would be a useful addon. I created a mock up which doesn't work but I feel it needs to be something like that. Only Paul can confirm ; ) $secFromReg=84000; //how many seconds the newly registered user must wait before he can make a post if($action=='vthread' or $action=='vtopic' and $user_id>0 and $row=db_simpleSelect(0, $Tu, "{$dbUserSheme['username'][1]}, {$dbUserId}", $dbUserSheme['user_regdate'][1], '>', NOW()+$secFromReg)) $canPost=TRUE; else $canPost=FALSE; if($canPost==FALSE) $roForums[]=$forum;

		tom322 I would avoid using straight NOW() as mySQL command. From my experience, mySQL database and PHP could be set up in different time zones ('cause placed on different servers). If we deal with PHP, then I'd prefer to use PHP commands only, and your code would be improved to that (I didn't check it): $secFromReg=84000; //how many seconds the newly registered user must wait before he can make a post $canPost=FALSE; if(($action=='pthread' or $action=='ptopic' or action=='vthread' or action=='vforum') and $user_id>1 and !$isMod){ if($row=db_simpleSelect(0, $Tu, "{$dbUserSheme['user_regdate'][1]}", "{$dbUserId}", '=', $user_id)) { if(time()>strtotime($row[0])+$secFromReg) $canPost=TRUE; } } if(!$canPost) $roForums[]=$forum;

		Thank you Paul, I'll check it. But quick question — you add this condition on 'pthread' or 'ptopic' actions, but then when user writes something in a post form, it will be lost when he submits the form? If so, I'm not sure if it's a convenient way as it may put some people off.. so I thought it might be better to use it on 'vthread' or 'vforum' actions, but not sure now..

		Oh well, actions you've mentioned surely could be added to the code (I've updated mine) to avoid displaying of the posting form. But posting actions should be added too, 'cause someone could use external script for the submission. Spammers most likely do that and do not use forum forms.

		Thank you — it seems to work well, will have to check with a couple of more users and will let you know if there's a problem, but it shouldn't be.
