Here's something I tried to do with the vbulletin 3 USERGROUP promotions options but failed:

What I am trying to set up is quite simple, I think.

Let's say I have created 2 new usergroups: Registered II and Registered III.

When a (Registered) member has:

• >= 5 Post Count (P) AND 0 Date Joined (DJ) AND 10 Reputation Points (REP);
• promote -> Registered II (Primary).

When a (Registered II) member has:

• >= 30(P) AND 0(DJ) AND 30(REP);
• promote -> Registered III (Primary).

Everything worked well... however, I would like the script to handle demotions too, so I added 2 other 'promotion' rules as follows...

When a (Registered III) member has:

• < 30(P) OR 0(DJ) OR 30(REP);
• promote -> Registered II (Primary).

When a (Registered II) member has:

• < 5(P) OR 0(DJ) OR 10(REP);
• promote -> Registered (Primary).

When I add these two rules in, these members (who are already in II or III) get a free ride on a roller-coaster e.g. Registered III members, they move from Registered -> Registered II -> Registered III and back again to Registered to start moving again in this cycle of promotions and 'demotions' every hour.

I must add - all this happens eventhough nothing has changed with the member's Post Count or REP.

I will be 'testing' a few other ideas over the next couple of days (so regular members, BEAR with me) and will update this thread with anything relevant or how I got it working if I do.

Sounds very complicated, but I am glad you are still putting tons of effort into this forum (and it shows).

Thanks JdS!!!
