Install the new <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/bbpressmoderation\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">bbPressModeration<\/a> plugin. It gives you the ability to mark the status of all new topics and replies as &#8220;pending&#8221;. Pending topics\/replies will be shown as &#8220;Awaiting Moderation&#8221; until the administrator publishes them, just like you would with an ordinary pending post.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-68823\" title=\"moderation\" src=\"https:\/\/wpmudev.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/moderation-1024x341.png\" alt=\"Post image\" aria-hidden=\"true\" width=\"685\" height=\"228\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>bbPressModeration<\/strong> also includes a few more helpful features for managing your forum:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Blog administrator can be notified of new topics and replies requiring moderation.<\/li>\n<li>Anonymous postings can always be marked for moderation.<\/li>\n<li>Registered users can post without moderation after the first topic\/reply is approved.<\/li>\n<li>A bubble counter is shown on the Topics and Replies menu to indicate the number of posts awaiting moderation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is by no means an all-or-nothing plugin, since the settings page lets you activate moderation for users based on if they&#8217;re registered or not and if they have successfully posted topics before.
