 I've been working on a simple membership site with only two membership
 levels: logged in and logged out, which is a situation that theoretically
 could be easily managed in WP without any plugins. However, logged in
 members should not be able o post publicly, while they are allowed to post
 whatever they want inside the membership walls, so the review system
 doesn't help in this situation either.

 Currently, I have to use a custom post type and force the status to
 private on publishing with a plugin to achieve the intended scenario.

 But I think the most parsimonious solution would be to include a
 capability that would allow people to "publish_private_posts" yet not
 "publish_posts".
