vBulletin 4 Request - Poll checks

Overview:

This product allows you to designate certain usergroups whose members will have access to the advanced poll voting permission options that you select as active. These advanced options are on a per poll basis, that is, each poll can have its own set of advanced permission settings. The setting from which you can choose are:

Minimum Post Count: Users will be required to have at least the designated number of posts before being able to vote on polls.
Minimum Length Of Membership: Users will be required to have been a member of the forum for at least the designated number of days before being able to vote on polls.
Recent Post Requirement: Users will have to have posted during the last number of designated days before being able to vote on polls.
Reputation Points: Users will be required to have at least the designated number of reputation points before being able to vote on polls.
Infraction Points: Users will be required to have no more than the designated number of infraction points before being able to vote on polls.
User Groups: Users will be required to be a member of at least one of the designated usergroups before being allowed to vote on polls.

As of version 2.0, you now have global settings that will apply to all polls, and can only be overridden by users with access to the advanced options.

A user who has access to these advanced options, will see them when creating/editing a poll as follows:
