Scratch

Go to the Administration panel
Then go to User Groups
Choose the group you want to edit and click edit
Scroll to the bottom and look for Post flood interval
In the box, put the number of seconds they need to wait.
So in Members put [60]
In New Members put [120]

Thanks, but both new scratchers and scratchers (or programmers, in my case) are members, and it only lets me change settings for these people: me, moderators, guests, and members. Thanks for trying though!

I just figured that out about 2 seconds ago.    Next question: how do you make them automatically update once they have a certain amount of posts?

Go to ranks, then add the Rank/Title. Put in the minimum posts (amount of posts they need) and Save

Just saying, PunBB Hosting isn't great. You should use a real web host.
Also, you should use FluxBB instead of PunBB.
FluxBB was created when PunBB was sold to a for-profit company, and some developers on the team created their own version called FluxBB.

OK, but I already have it started though. If I make another one, I'll keep that in mind.

Scratch uses FluxBB BTW. So does PunBB-Hosting. 

To make users automatically update, you'd have to run a database query. If you don't want to, you can use the administration panel, users menu, and search for users with over X posts. Select them all, and change their group.

Could you tell me how to "run a database query"? Because I have no idea what you're talking about. 

You have to either use the PHP mysql_query() function, or go into PHPMyAdmin and execute it from there.

I still don't know what to do. Could you give me the code and where to put it or something? (You see, I don't know anything about PHP)

Do you have access to the database?
What are the requirements for upgrading new users? What group ID is theirs? What group ID should they go to?
After i have that info, i can give you some code, i hope.

They should start as a "New Programmer" in the "New Programmers" group (all groups follow that pattern: add an s at the end).
Next is "Programmer" Needs 15 posts (or more)
Then "Amazing Programmer" Needs 50 posts (or more)
And Lastly "Pro-grammer" Needs 150 posts (I bet you can guess)

Also, I don't have anyway to get to the database (that I'm aware of).

I don't care about the title. Go to the admin panel, and try to change options for the groups. Copy the number after edit_group= in the URL. That's the group ID.
I'll try and write a page that'll upgrade users. You'll have to run it everyday, or whenever you want to do the automatic upgrade.
