Hello and thanks for reading this. I am going to set up a website that will allow Amateur Radio (Ham) operators as well as the general public to submit Ham-related stories for display. It should be searchable, and must be 100% moderated (by me). I do not wish to provide a chat service, nor email or any other form of two-way communications, just a place for folks to submit success stories related to Amateur Radio.
I would like it to be searchable, and to be open for viewing by anyone who registers.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Jim Darrough, KI7AY

Want to set up a Drupal website for submitting stories
There's plenty of ways to reduce access to registered users, I use the Content Access module - http://drupal.org/project/content_access
To moderate content, use the Moderate module - http://drupal.org/project/modr8
User permissions and comment settings
I'm not sure you'll even need the Content Access module. Setting Drupal's default user permissions (yoursite.com/admin/user/permissions) to allow only registered users to 'Create story content' should be enough. You'll still want the Moderate module, though.
Also, you should know that you can control whether users are allowed to post comments either from the user permissions screen ("post comments") or from the Story content type settings page (yoursite.com/admin/content/content-types/story).
