Restrict publishing to certain Taxonomy Terms Greetings and salutations. I am struggling to find a solution to the following matter: 

Goal: 
A Taxonomy named Sections has terms like Term 1, Term 2, Term 3. The goal is to only allow users to publish content under 'Term 1' and 'Term 2' and any content posted under 'Term 3' will not be automatically published and put to the moderation queue.

Modules tried (with no success): 
Taxonomy Access Control 
Taxonomy Tools
I have found a solution with the Rules module.

Here's how I managed to get it to work:

1) install the module 
2) activate it 
3) GO to /admin/config/workflow/rules and add a new rule 
4) set post type to my post type 
5) Added an OR condition 
6) Under that OR condition added Data Comparision to [node:field-section:tid] to my term's ids
7) in Action added unpublish content 

Seems to be working so far.
