For comments, there are modules which allows them to be approved before they are posted?
I want to give access to the users to post a content but want it to be approved before it is posted.
how can i set the content to be posted only after administer reviews it?Is there any module for it?

Hey Rabinrai, one way of approaching this.
You will need the following modules:
Views - http://drupal.org/project/views

CCK - http://drupal.org/project/cck

if you have cck installed, navigate to Content Management> Content types> select the content type you wish to use, for example a blog or a story, go to Workflow and under Default options unselect published.

Then using the Views module, set a new view for unpublished content, enable it as a block also.

Navigate to Administer> Site Building> Blocks and set the block to only be shown on your admin page.
There you have, you will be able to see all unpublished nodes on your admin page.

Or, simply use the Node Approval module.

Or, if you only want to have to approve comments, use the Comment Approval module.

The problem with this is that the node creator has to click unpublished in the node add form. Usually the default is published. Presumably "create %node" permissions enables this box.
