OK this is really driving me nuts now.

USERS:

Total # of private topics allowed ⇑ -- set to 0
Max # of private topic participants ⇑ -- set to 0

So that they can't sent/receive PMs. (Right?)

I have it so that when someone posts 10 posts, they automatically get put into a group that allows PMs, lets call it Regular. Here's the settings:

REGULAR:
Total # of private topics allowed ⇑ -- set to 0
Max # of private topic participants ⇑ -- set to 0

OK.
Now I have another group, lets call them NO PMs.
When I put someone manually into this NO PMs group, I want to basically take away their PM rights and leave everything else like it is in REGULAR.

So how do I do that?
I know similar questions are above, but none of it seems to be working at all... they cannot send NEW PMs but they can receive PMs and are also allowrd to reply to PMs.

If someone could please help holding my hand telling me what to do I would be so happy!! arrrrggghh!

Thank you
