It depends on what you're trying to accomplish...
- Do you want to create a "dialog"? Then I suggest using the Forum.
- Do you want to collaborate? Then I suggest using Wiki pages.
- Do you want a (primarily) announcements? Then I suggest using articles or blog.
- Are you trying to collect tabular (forms) information? Then I suggest using trackers.
- Etc..
All of Tiki's features allow users (with permission) to post comments.
On Forums, comments (called posts or threads) can be "queued" — they must be approved before becoming live. Users can also "report" inappropriate posts.
For other features, you can force anonymous users to enter a CAPTCHA before posting (to reduce spam), but there is no "queing" (that I'm aware of).
In all cases, administrators can edit or delete any comment.
For wiki pages, there is a new "approval" feature that you might look at. Edits to a wiki page (not comments — edits to the actual page) can be queued for approval before going "live."
