i agree with you, that's a good 3-level-system
level 0 guests, who can add entries, but have to answer that anti-bot 
thing - these entries are not going to be added immediantly someone with 
a higher level has to accept the modification.
level 1 - the normal registered user, he is allowed to post while logged 
in under his name. They are also allowed to accept entries from level 0 
- wich are afterwards under their resposibility and get their name 
mentioned...
level 2 - moderator, can multi-delete entries by some criterias as 
timespan/author/IP..., administrate users, ban user-ids/ips... whatever

i would love to have such a system :)
