Martin. Yes. You are correct.
    I'ld surprised, if such a mechanism does not
exist.
 It's necessary for any public comment system.
 
 Cheers   
 
 The description says "only subscribers may retrieve items from the
 node."
 
 Best,
 Goffi   
  
 Note that I'm talking about accessing items here. If you want to
 moderate the publishing, you'll do that with affiliations (
 
https://xmpp.org/extensions/ xep-0060.html#affiliations ).
 
 If it's a different use case, please describe it precisely.
  
 
I wanted a write-only node, but Tedd has kinddly offered this solution.

 you mean.     
 
 No, just a standard chat account where an 'admin' can receive posts
 in order to moderate them. Not everything needs to be provided by
 pubsub just because you're using pubsub for publishing.
 
 You will need to tie everything together with an interface to present
 it to users in a coherent way, but you will need to do that
 regardless of the underlying mechanisms used; the point is that you
 can build this right now, without waiting for some future dream
 features.   
 
So, thanks to Tedd, I intend to send all messages to the administrator,
and upon approval, the system would publish a comment which be
attributed to the sender.
Kind regards,
Schimon
