Use the newspublisher snippet.
Use a different chunk for the form. They are all the same fields but you don’t need a content or introtext area.
Then set the fields in the array to reference, unpublished. -- or even a certain folder so you can check it for all submissions in the document tree in the manager. Then you can can check them before they are published. Ah heck, here’s the snippet I modified...
I didn’t use a chunk, but just changed the form in the snippet. I also added a dropdownbox for the folders I use for link topics. You will certainly have to take that out I’d think, or change it to reflect your own.
Right now I’m using this on a privateweb page on the frontend. I have no idea how safe it is for anonymous use, but I don’t think I changed anything significant...?
Around line 162 is where the fields are to insert into the database.

You should set ’published’ => ’1’ on line 175 to 0 if you want it to be unpublished until you approve it.
