Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count

How it works and why it’s better than vB Promotions system…
First of all it’s very easy to use.

Forum is shown on forumhome but if you have no needed post count you’ll see lock icon and predefined error message when try to access. When you set this via vB Promotions system forum is hidden on forumhome and you must create additional usergroup to make all this working.

When user collect needed amount of posts he will be able to access protected forum immediately. When you set this via vB Promotions system then user must wait until Promotions task is executed … then he will be able to access protected forum. How much time user must wait it depends on settings in AdminCP/Scheduled Tasks… and if you set this to run every minute it pushes your server. If you set it to 2 or more minutes then user must wait more and more… and nobody like it.
