Users & Groups: User Group Promotions
User Group Promotions allow you to easily change a user's user group based on post count, reputation, or time registered. Group promotions are run using the Task Manager at regular intervals.
The User Group Promotions listing provides the name of each promotion, its description, and allows you to edit, enable/disable, or delete each promotion.
