Have you looked at squishdot (http://squishdot.org ,
http://www.zope.org/Members/butchland/Squishdot)?

It's my understanding that someone is doing a reimplementation of
Squishdot using ZDiscussions/PTK. Can anyone on the list confirm this?
this would seem to solve most of the moderation/registration issues.

In any case, this would seem to be a better approach than an RDBMS
centric application, as it leverages Zope's strengths.

HTH,
