In an attempt to stop the drive by spammers, new members don't have some features until they reach 10 posts AND are members for at lease 7 days.
When you first join, you will be in Members. After 10 posts you will be automatically promoted to Confirmed Members
The original members group now works like so. (What everyone is until they reach 10 posts):
No custom avatar allowed
No profile picture allowed
No uploading of images
No Personal Messages
No signature allowed
No Social groups
No albums
Once a member reaches
10 posts,
has been a member for 7 days
has a reputation of 0 or more (in other words, not negative)
s/he gets promoted to Confirmed member status which includes all the stuff above not available to Members
We hope this helps in reducing the number of SPAM Messages.
The attached image shows the rules for all usergroupd including two additional groups members are promoted to automatically on reaching specific criteria. These are: Advanced Members and 1000+ post members. Both of these user groups have additional priviledges. For example, larger Personal Message Boxes, the ability to send PM's to several people at once, more space for attachments, larger images, larger avatars and more.
