Title Issue with Read-Only Forum Permissions with Sub-Forums that are Read/Write
Status Closed (no changes needed)

Description I have a parent recruitment forum that I use to just cluster the sub-forums together. The parent forum is read-only for everyone, except for admin.

There are three sub-forums, where new members can post to asking to join up for a specific game, etc.

The random issue we are having is that some new members end up posting in the parent recruitment forum where they only have read-only permissions. We then have to direct them to post in the correct sub-forum.

My other admin and myself have tried to reproduce this issue, but we are unable to.
Steps to reproduce

1) Join vvarmachine.com

2) Validate email

3) Somehow post on read-only parent forum

Additional information When a member joins and validates their email, they get placed in the "Recruit" user group.

From there they are asked to post under one of the recruitment sub-forums, which they have read/write access to, and these sub-forums include post templates to make sure we get the information we want.

An email is sent out to the user with direct links to the sub-forums.

If a user goes through the forum and clicks on recruitment they get a message directing them on where to go. Even if they can somehow end up adding a post to this parent forum, there is a template there that says "DON'T POST HERE".

We seem to get 1-2 every few days.
