My client is running a multi-author blog he is wanting to prevent his contributors from selecting more than one category for their posts. Is this possible? To date I have been unable to find a suitable means of doing so?
Is there also a way for hiding posts by other authors? rather than just have it so they are unable to edit the posts of others?

I've always wanted to do something like this and after seeing your post, I came up with a plugin that changes the check boxes to radio buttons. This small interface change should produce the results you are looking for. Here's a link:

Awesome plugin! I think I'd use this plugin, if for no other reason than to ensure I never have any more accidentally "uncategorized" posts!
Two suggestions:
1) Hook in a setting on the Writing settings page, to allow single/multiple categories per post.
2) Add the plugin to the repo. :)

chipbennett,
Those are great suggestions. I still have a few work to do on it before I get there... but I'll see what I can come up with.

#2 has been completed: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/category-radio-buttons/
But on second glance, I am uncertain about #1 - could you please clarify perhaps with an example?

Regarding #1: I just meant to add an option on the Writing Settings page to select multiple or single categories per post, rather than having to control the option by activating/deactivating the plugin.
Maybe it's just easier to control the option by activating/deactivating the plugin?

That's exactly the thought that I had when I read it a second time :)
