CMS which would allow visitors articles posting

I would like to know if some open source CMSs have posability, extension, mod or something which would allow to ordinary registered users (or even unregistered visitors - as option) to post article on frontpage (without adding special permission to every individual user).
Most CMSs which I checked have option to allow users to comment already posted news however I would like CMS (or something like that) which would allow to un/registered users to post news, story, article just like we used to post comments into guestbooks in past.
More advanced guestbook would actually partially serve to my purpose, however I would prefer something more features rich, that's why I said CMS or some community builder.
Basicly I need CMS where every random visitor would be able to share his story with rest on frontpage.

You may want to look into Drupal. It's a PHP-based CMS system. You can easily grant rights to anonymous users for posting news stories or any other content type.http://www.drupal.org/

Thank you - I will try both suggested above.
I checked also some blogs and found out that b2evolution support users article writings, however I would need to grant permission for every newly registered user - so useless in my case.

www.e107.org might have what your looking for, but you'll have to go through the admin panel and set up that option.

You can also do this with wordpress by allowing them to register and then giving them write access.

This is exactly what I trying to avoid. Sorry if I wasn't clear, but I don't want give them write access later because I wan't guestbook or board realtime type of usage.
As example (only example), when you open some "post your joke" page you don't want to register and then wait whole day that admin approve you joke posting. You want just post it immediately.
I playing atm with Drupal. I found already classic "add comment" persmission for every one, but still looking for "Create content" module permissions.
"comments" usually aren't problematic on those pages. Every CMS allow this, however things become more complicated when you want that users/visitors add own content on page.

I see what you're looking for, sorry for the misunderstanding.
The only thing that I see is the potential for SPAM. If you don't collect any information or make them do anything special, you are going to get SPAMMED. That's why so many sites make you register before they allow you to post, even for the joke scenario. You could have it set up to where if they entered in a captcha message correctly (or something similar) that it would automatically register them upon responding to an auto email. Something similar to what forums do.

I was thinking about this also. OK, registering is acceptable, however even then it's in most of those CMS's needed to add permissions to certain user to post own frontpage content. To become "publisher".
Edit:
This is simple example what I want:http://www.confessionpost.com/
(just a bit more features rich - that's why CMS and not guestbook)Moderators can censore link later if it's needed - sorry.

1. Assuming you have Clean URLs enabled, go to this part of the Drupal Admin:
your-domain.com/admin/user/permissions
2. Scroll down to the section that says "node module"
3. Where it says "create story content" check the checkbox in the "anonymous user" column.
4. Save permissions
5. Logout of Drupal.
6. Go to your main page. You should have a create content section for the anonymous user. click through the menu tree until you get to the Story content type: your-domain.com/node/add/story
With Drupal, you can create you own content types, such as "Joke", and define exactly what fields you want for that type. Just download the CCK module (content construction kit) for all the goodies!

You can use the CAPTCHA module to address spam:http://drupal.org/project/captcha
