 * Hi Guys
 * I remember ‘in the old days’ if a new registered user made a post it would appear
   in your moderation queue (note this is for new posts not comments).
 * Now, I can’t work out how to do this in the latest version of WP.
 * Based on a brand new unmodified WP install, please can someone let me know what
   level a user would need to be to enable them to write a post which goes into 
   the moderation queue before being published.
 * I have the role manager plug-in installed but all I have been able to do with
   this is enable a user with ‘contributor access’ to publish a post (at which point
   the post appears straight away on my blog which I don’t want).
 * Ideally I’d like to be able to check their first post and if this post is Ok (
   and is authorised via the mod queue), enable the user to post their second, third
   and forth posts without any further moderation.
 * Hope you can help 🙂
 * Cheers

   by them as well. Don’t like to have to be so controlling, but need to…

 * Don’t mix the two issues: posts and comments.
 * Users at the contributor level can write a post but they can not publish it. 
   The post will be published only if an admin (or Editor) accepts it.
 * As for comments: you have all the tools for moderating comments > see your own
   admin panel: Options > Discussion.
