Moderation of new member posts

How to you go about moderating the posts of new members until after a set number of posts? Google came up with nothing, other than a hint about using user groups to create New Member group which gets moderated until after X amount of posts, or points, after which they go into the unmoderated registered members group. But I couldn't find the instruction on how to actually make this work, especially since there are two user group modules for Nuke and PHPBB.

You would set up a new members group in the admin/ forums area - setting the limits for the group min and max posts to suit your needs and then setting the permissions for the particular group to be moderated.

Look into the groups in the phpbb area.

Thanks for the response. I tried that, but there wasn't any kind of permissions like that in my phpbb admin. I'm using the RavenNuke 7.6 package, so maybe its a version difference.
However, I did find a hack from the PHPBB website that you can use to moderate posts; however it moderates ALL posts. There are rumors on the site that future updates to phpbb will include a moderation option.

No the permissions aren't in phpbb - they are in the Nuke Groups admin area.
