The rules are made up of member thresholds: forum posts, friends, status updates, days since registered, total groups created, total group admin memberships, total group memberships and total group mod memberships; Also supports the third-party plugin: achievements. S for example you can restrict group creation to members who have more than 10 friends etc.

Reviews

Very useful plugin!

Thanks @venutius for this useful plugin. If you can add role support it can become better, because we could use it with Paid Membership Pro. That plugin has an addon “PMPRO roles” and creates its own roles. Any way I give it 5 stars, because it does what it says.
