Community members to post in restricted formats

How do I limit a member's input?

I'm building a new portal. I want people to be able to join communities and be able to add new groups on my new portal. And I want the format to be the same. i.e. they may have say 1 title, 2 lines of description, a picture and a web address. How can i restrict their post to a set format?

Know of any hosted forum that will give me this control?

It sounds like you need a form submission system to create a structured addition like this. Collect and validate the info in a form and submit it to your forum software for posting.

It's not what you are looking for, but a vBulletin hack, for example, lets a user report a problem post by completing a form - the script then takes this information and creates a thread from it in a special forum. Same general concept. Sorry I can't suggest a hosted solution for this.
