Is there any way to make it so users must be active in order to access downloads? like a user must post atleast 5 posts and wait 24 hours prior to being able to access the downloads section?
im using pn762 and PNphpBB2 -

It uses its own permissions. It also has its own user database. The first time a PN user goes tou the forum, the user is auto-created in PNphpBB2, so group management operates on the PNphpBB2 users, not the PostNuke users. It makes it a pain to maintain a privileged group on the forum because you have to manage it through PNphpBB's admin panel. -

with that being the case, maybe you can do downloads in the form of attachments in a special forum.
only give certain PNphpBB users access to the forum, and set up the download as an attatchemtn -

Eitherway, you'd have to write something to:
1. Check the user's post count
2. Adjust their permissions properly.
It is possible, I wrote a workflow for Pagesetter that will add a user to a group upon acceptance of a submission in Pagesetter, but exactly how to best do it, I don't know. -

I can't quite remember for sure, but I think sometime ago on Chestnut's site someone wanted to do something like that with the pncuserpoints system (which you could assign points for each forum post). As my fuzzy memory recalls I think there were a few lines of code given to add to the downloads module to get it to work. You may want to look around there and see if you can dig it up.
