Default user role for new users set to none (3 posts)

    I need people to register to my site before they can write a 'post'. However, I do not want them to get access to any part of the Admin system. (I use a theme that allows users to write frontend)
    I have found that when I manually set the user role to "no role for this blog", they are allowed to write frontend, but cannot access any Admin panel.
    Now, I would like this to be set as a default, so that I do not need to approve every user manually. (I do not want people to wait for my approval, since it makes the threshold to high) But in the Settings, there is not option for 'none'.
    I have tried a few plugins that do not help me much either. Is there a simple hack to add "no role" to the default list in Settings?

    added:
    I have tried plugins:
    - role scoper; but can't activate due to fatal error
    - role manager; did not help at all
    - user role editor; could activate but did not show in Settings
    - user permissions; totally useless

    The 'role' or rather no role does exist in Wordpress. All I want is add it to the default list.

    Or should I wait for version 3.0? It will have a feature to choose "no role" in the "add new user" panel. Anyone knowing if it will show up in default drop down menu as well?

    I got the Role Manager plugin to work and created a new role without any permissions. It does work in the front end!!!
    Great.
