Advices for wordpress web developing

Question

I want to make a website where users can sign up and post stories of their own in certain categories which will get through a verification process by the admin. After verification,it will be displayed on the category page.Now many suggested me buddypress but I wanted to know if there is anything else. I don't want people to add friends or do private chats. I would like it to be more like sololearn with follow options. Any plugins, themes(wont be making one from scratch) you can suggest? 😃

A man is making a hot air balloon flight. He strays and decides to descend and ask someone. Go down about 10 meters from the ground and ask a person passing by:

- Please, can you tell me where I am?

- Well, look, you're in a hot air balloon, about 10 meters above the ground.

- You are a computer, right?

- Yes, how do you know?

- Because they gave me a technically correct answer, but that does not solve anything.
