Looking for WP / or other CMS to allow User submissions for site

    I've got an idea for a great site, the domain is open but I am wondering how to implement?
    I want a system similar to Texts From Last Night, or FML, notalwaysright or any of the sites on the Cheezburger network, that will allow me to let users (after registration) to post up text for approval (or not because I can remove late). I am NOT looking to allow these people access to the back end at all.

    Is this possible wtih a CMS system / Wordpress would be ideal, via the already open plugins or systems? I'd like to see how well the concept works before i have someone program a full front end for me.

    Thanks for your help.

    Ok.. Looked around, did some research, and found that BuddyPress seems to be the best option.
    Front end login system so users dont' get into the back-end.
    Users can enter posts, and there are tons of options.
    You do need to use a BP related theme though.

    I think wordpress could work with some plugins, but I think Joomla could be a good alternative too
