Is there a way that I can make it so that only admins/sysops can edit Talk pages? I'm slowly trying to edit the Talk/Discussion/Comments system so that it works a little more like on a blog. E.g. time stamps and signatures would be automatic, each comment would be formatted appropriately, and no one person can edit or change all the previous comments.
So basically, I want to make it so that if a user tries to access "User:Somebody&action=edit", it isn't allowed; but if they access "User:Somebody&action=edit§ion=new", it is. Is this possible?
Thanks.

No, nor would it be reliable. Section editing is just a special case of normal editing, and the saving and so forth is done in the same manner.
