[support] Site queue for users

[Michael Prasuhn]

I've achieved similar functionality using the workflow module. It  
requires actions module. I set these up and only gave admin/moderator  
roles the permission to change workflow status, an then set the  
default node workflow under admin/content/types to not be published.  
Then use a form_alter to remove the publishing options from the node  
creation form, and user that have permissions will be allowed to see  
the workflow status and use that. Pair this with views to give you a  
view of all content that has a workflow status of 'In moderation' and  
you'll have your queue for the administrators.
