Magento new order state and status
===

My magento store has configurable products that allow a user to customize with a message and an image. Before the product can go through to be printed it needs to pass through a moderation check (preformed by a human). 

I want to automatically set all new incoming orders to a state of "holded" and a status of "pending moderation". 

Once the moderator reviews the order they will either approve or reject the customization. 

Can anyone help shed some light on how to set all new incoming orders to a specific state?
