That way, only the news posters (moderators) can start new threads but everyone can reply to the news. This is similar to other sites where you can see the news on the frontpage and it also says something like '5 replies' or '5 comments'

If you are using my script for this and didnt restrict news posters in settings, I want to remind you that your users can still post news to your main page. Since the script does not care if news message is a thread starter or a reply, if you dont restrict news poster names, your users using news tag in the reply messages in that specific forum will be able to move their posts to your main page..
However they wouldnt know how to drag a message to the main page, so we can still say that you are safe (provided that you installed the tag remover step in installation instructions)
