If im not mistaken your lookin for something like Cyb - Advanced Permissions Based on Post Count

Info:

This product allows you to set permissions based on user’s post count for:
-viewing forum (threads listing),
-viewing threads content,
-creating new threads,
-replying to threads,
-viewing attachments,
-Viewing/Posting links/images and e-mail addresses,
-sending private messages,
-sending e-mails,
-posting Visitor messages
-viewing Albums
-creating new Albums
-posting Picture comments
-viewing Social Groups
-creating new Social Groups
-posting Group messages

This will disallow members with no permissions to view forums/threads/posts/links through normal view, printthread, search, archive*, thread preview. Note that you can set Forum/Thread Permissions for each forum/sub-forum separately. Screenshot shows additional options in Forum Manager and error messages shown to user when trying to view restricted area.

*-When you set in some forum "Minimum Post Count To View Thread Listing In This Forum" option to different value than "0" guests will not be able to see thread listing in that forum through Archive. For logged-in users this function works normally regarding user's post count.
-When you set in some forum "Minimum Post Count To View Threads Content In This Forum" option to different value than "0" guests will not be able to read threads in that forum through Archive. For logged-in users this function works normally regarding user's post count.
 
Yea. He just PM'ed me with a better description.

He wants to restrict users with 0 post count to only see one thread/section. Once they post their, the rest of the forum is open to them. Cybs mod is the easiest way to do it. If you rather do it via a promotion system without modification I suggest:


Step 1: Create a new usergroup that can see all the appropriate forums

Step 2: Go to "usergroups" & select "promotions" in the admin CP.

Step 3: Create a new promotion. Set this so when users has 1 post they get moved to the NEW usergroup we created in step one.

Step 4: Set the users default "Registered user" group permissions to only have the ability to read 1 section of the forum. The rest you turn completely off.

if followed, when the member makes 1 post, he will move to the new promoted usergroup which can see all boards. =)
