Hoping someone can help ...

Is it possible to apply forum permissions to user RANKS (not user groups)?

I have it set up so that when people have made 5+ posts they go into a new user Rank - and I'd like to restrict the permissions associated with that user rank.

Alternatively, is there a way I can set it up as a user group, so that once they've made 5 posts they automatically move from one usergroup to the next?

I'm also managing membership levels with eMember plugin.

Thank you :)

the latter is exactly what you can and want to do...  if you look on forum - components - ranks, you will see that you can automatically move a user to a new user group (and thus have different permissions) once they attain a rank...

you may want to investigate the option to only allow users to have one usergroup membership.. not exactly sure what you want to do, but may help facilitate it...
