BuddyPress.org

Hi guys- I’m new here but I love WordPress and Buddypress already and I look forward to getting more involved and helpful to the community as my learning advances. Now to the topic:

I am building a website for a client and am using Buddypress. Everything is all good, but in the flow we have created, I need to created Forum Topics and then have users comment and those comments voted on. I would like to restrict the creation of forum posts to Admins, otherwise users will add things to this forum and screw everything up. Any ideas? This seems to be different than “Restrict Group Creation”, and I need the Forum Post voting widget, so I can’t move away from that.
