Well, I initially changed the "phatmasser" group to "In Limbo" where you would be promoted to "phatmasser" after 10 posts. Apparently, even though people had over ten posts, it wasn't promoting them to "phatmasser" until they made at least one more post since I made the change.

So... I changed "In Limbo" back to "phatmasser" and created an entirely new group called "In Limbo", and have now made this the default group for all new members. After 10 posts, they will be promoted to "phatmasser".

What this does is allow us to have a completely different permission set for new members with 10 posts or less so that we have more control of potential spammers and trouble makers--limiting their privileges and posting abilities until after they "prove themsleves worthy" by making at least 10 posts.

There are still a few members who are "In Limbo" for some reason, but I'm hoping that after they post it will correct itself.

[quote name='homeschoolmom' post='1627232' date='Aug 14 2008, 05:01 PM']My understanding is that Limbo is for new members who have not yet posted 10 times (after that they are put in the lurker group, I believe). I'm not sure why current members have been limbo-ized... hmmm....[/quote]
I do not think so, HSmom.

There are currently 10 members in Limbo, all of whom have more than 100 posts, 7 of whom have more than 1000, and three with more than 5000.
How curious...
EDIT:
Nevermind, I now see that the master has clarified.
