hey guys just wanted to add to the secuirty of online websites

hopefully this will be taken seriously

A plugin to stop New registered members from messaging others & emailing others

New members would have to have 10 new posts or 10 new threads in order to start pming others

Reason is cause alot of spamers join today and start spamming/messaging/emailing  other members at start up

I know this happened to me many times on my other sites very often

let me know what can be done for futur updates on this

Yes, this is one of those industry standard features that need to go in. I'll fit it into the next release, not a big deal to code in as we have the usergroup masks in place already.

I found that by using a site password for signing up, in conjunction with CATCHPA, it keeps all the A holes out of the site.
Obviously that restricts who can join the site (invite only), but it kills 99.9% of all known germs

Having a points system in future version would be cool though.

Such as :
Earn X points to post or download
Earn Y points to invite other users/upload videos/files

Or even having such privilege attributes at a user level, though that might be trickier to implement.
