Create posts but not threads

It depends on how the forms modification works. Unless it somehow bypasses posting permissions, you would need permissions to be turned on to allow the form to be posted as a thread to that forum in the first place. Only other way that would work is if the users replying to those threads just so happen to be in a different usergroup than the people allowed to fill out the forms and start those threads. But odds are, you'd still new the New Thread posting permissions to stay intact.
