    hiya,

    Is there a way on wordpress to allow absolutely anyone to submit an article? And then if so have them held until approved by a moderator ?

    I want to set up a blog to be an announcement board for a particular community, with approval needed to weed out any spam attempts.

    "I have to set up this on wordpress."
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    There is only one plugin that allow users to post articles but articles will publish only when admin approve them.

    This plugin has two options.
    1- first user register and then post article
    2- without registration user can submit article.

    I hope this plugin will help you.

    Pligin name is "tdo mini form". you can download it from wordpress.org

    Dont Use Any Plugin :)

    Do This :

    1. In Settings Allow New User Registrations.
    2. And Place the Register Link In The Home or whereever you want it to be.
    3. In the Settings, Change new user group to Contributor.

    Done.

    Now you will get a notification like Post(xx) Drafts (xx) And Pending Review(XX) and the pending ones will be the posts that the new user posted :D

    Done... Enjoy LOL :D
