Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 31041, member: 636"] The administrator sets up rules for brand new users in the XenForo Internet forum software package. The administrator makes moderators check the first five posts from all new members. After these five posts pass inspection, the system moves these members into a different group. This helps the forum team catch people who might send spam messages before they cause problems. The administrator changes what new users can do by editing permission settings. The administrator opens the Users & Groups section and finds the Registered User group. The administrator says these members cannot publish content without approval first. The administrator saves these changes to protect the forum from bad posts. The administrator creates another group called Verified Members. The administrator uses the Groups and Permissions menu and adds this new user group. The administrator gives special permission to these verified people. The Verified Member group can post messages without waiting for approval. After saving this group, the administrator makes a promotion system. The system watches how many messages each person posts. The administrator names this promotion Verified. The administrator tells the system to add people to the Verified Member group automatically. The system counts approved messages for each person. The XenForo Internet forum software package moves users when they reach five good posts. The administrator understands that this system does not work instantly. The computer program checks periodically and then moves qualified members. Every new member starts with restricted posting abilities. Moderators must approve their first five messages manually. This gives the forum team time to watch for troublemakers. After those five messages pass inspection, the system promotes that person. The XenForo Internet forum software package tracks everything automatically. The promoted members can post messages normally without waiting. This system keeps the forum safe from spammers. The forum stays clean because only trusted members gain full posting rights. The moderators spend less time checking messages from regular members. [/QUOTE]
