I should have included the General Options tab under Options has some check boxes for “Anyone can register” and “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” which sets the requirement for you to authorize or not authorize new users and how they can post.

try logging in as admin, go to options, the discussions tab. There you can set options for allowing people to log in but hold all posts for your approval until you escalate their status. Works for our site.
