This application will add 5 extra permissions for your members to enter forums. You can exlude groups
from each permission.
The permissions are added for each forum seperately and they are as follow:
1) Number of Threads
You can set a minimum number of threads for users in order for them to enter a forum or forums.
2) Daily Posts
You can set a minimum of posts that your user can make on daily basis in order for them to enter a forum or forums.
3) Days Registered
You can allow access to a forum or certain forums only to members who have been registered for a certain period of time. This can come in handy to protect your forums from spammers for example.
4) Likes/Reputation Points
You can allow access to a forum or certain forums only to those members who have received a number of likes/reputation points, i.e. the popular members if you will.
5) Minimum Age
If you want to restrict access to a forum or forums to user under a certain age, then this is setting is for you. If an user did not add the birthday details in their profile, they will get an error message when they will try to access the age based forums.
