I'm wasting quality content on contact forms. All that content should be public for the eyes of Google!

So I want a WordPress Q&A Style plugin that will make questions public, with some add-ons.

So here's what I want

  1. Any viewer can ask a question. It goes into moderation queue.
  2. I then moderate everything.
  3. It works with the SEO Ultimate plugin's Deeplinks Juggernaut so I can get some inner link love.
- I don't want users registering on my sites, if I can avoid it.
- So I'll need some spam protection and moderation. Nothing automatically posted.

PERFECT World:

  1. Any viewer can ask a question. It goes into moderation queue.
  2. As spam protection, make them opt into a MailChimp list. Once they are opted in, the question goes live on a new URL (preferably SEO-optimized URL).
  3. Anyone can answer a question. But their email needs to be opted into MailChimp before it goes public.
  4. I still moderate everything.
Nothing is using MailChimp like this, so in the meantime I'd have to find some other options to start from.


Wp-Answers, Wordpress Question & Answers Plugin : Features - This seems overkill, but might be able to do what I want.

WordPress - DZS Support Tickets / Forums - WordPress Plugin | CodeCanyon - Public or Private Support Tickets

WordPress Q&A Plugin - WPMU Dev - WPMU has questions section. $19 includes a month of upgrades and support. They never answered my email questions last time I asked for this.

Anyone with experience on this? Use any of these plugins? Anyone interested in working on it with me?

I think WMPU is $19 PER month, you might want to check on that if you do end up going that route.
 
gravityforms maybe? they can make a question go into a post that has to be moderated before published.

So in my first search, I remember thinking this. I am not paying monthly for software that's on my server.

Oh yeah, on my first search, I also remember seeing a suggestion for this too. I currently use Gravity Forms in my contact form on two of my sites - hooked into MailChimp. I'm going to contact them and see what they themselves say.

THANKS GUYS! I owe

If you use gravity form, maybe you can use this plugin (WordPress › Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types « WordPress Plugins). I've never used it but I was curious about your implementation as well and that seems to be able to make posts based off form entries.
 
I worked on a project doing something similar to this using Codeigniter years ago, called FAQyourself.

Why don't you use Contact Forms 7, their Database-Extension plugin, and then write a custom plugin that queries the table and outputs it through a shortcode to a page. ex. [faqlist]

*Not a big fan of gravity forms. Too bloated IMO
