HowTo: Stories REQUIRE approval?

Hi,
Is there some way to give permissions for people to submit stories, but an "editor" role has to sign off on them before they are published?
The reason I'm asking is because I run the site of a small non-profit. I want to give the board members the ability to blog their thoughts, but one of them does tend to fly off the handle and rant. I'd like just a little shred of oversight on the stories, lest the organization get discredited.
Have you checked out the
Have you checked out the modr8 module?
Setting content type as unpublished ... waiting for approval
You can try the following:
1) Go to the content type settings for story
2) Uncheck "Published" - this changes the default content type setting to unpublished
When the user creates their story content, Drupal will keep the content unpublished in a queue (in the Content admin section) waiting for approval to publish.
Login as admin and approve the content via the Administer > Content Management > Content area.
There may be a way to automate this more.
Hope this helps.
modr8
I agree with above post as well - modr8 looks like it will give you even more functionality.
Use the workflow module
http://drupal.org/project/workflow ...... it does everything you need it to.
What if?
What if you want to assign editors to each content types/taxonomy terms? I've noticed that only super admin can see the moderate block. Any suggestions? Im using Drupal 6.0..

I have a similar problem
I have a similar problem
I need different moderators for each different forum topic. Formaccess does the job. but theres no way to avoid forum topic from being posted and latter moderator can approve or delete it
and theres also no unified interface available in formaccess where a moderator can see a list of forum topics and comments relevant to himself and approve/delete all or any of them using check boxes
modr8 has 3 problems in my case
1. Modr8 only moderates forum topics not the comments. For comments moderator has to go again to comment approval queue and approve or delete content from there
2. With Moder8 the only way a moderator can delete a content is if he has access node rights otherwise theres just a no action and approve options available.
3. modr8 doesnt allow different moderators for different forum topics and/or taxonomies
For #1 and #2 this is by
For #1 and #2 this is by design. There are other modules that may function more like what you're looking for:
As for #3, modr8 states right on the page it's not a node access module. You may be able to get the behavior you're looking for by adding one of the nodeaccess modules.
