new topic and replies limit

[bluesky404]

Just the same as what you do in forum "ip.board request", I'd like to limit new topic and no limitation while replying.

I've tried to set post limit to 5, but found that people cannot reply, either. Could you how to make it as you do?

  		{$forum_data['SHOW_PAGES']}
  		<ul class='topic_buttons'>
  			<if test="usercanpost:|:$forum_data['_user_can_post']">
  				<li><a href='{parse url="module=post&amp;section=post&amp;do=new_post&amp;f={$forum_data['id']}" base="publicWithApp"}' title='{$this->lang->words['topic_start']}' accesskey='s'>{$this->lang->words['topic_start']}</a></li>
  			<else />
