<h3>Usage</h3>
Once activated the bbPressModeration plugin will, depending on the settings, prevent the publishing 
of topics and replies until approved by the site administrator.
Registered users who have previously had a topic/reply approved do not need to go through the moderation 
process for subsequent posts.
If a topic/reply is marked for moderation then it is shown in the bbPress Topic or Reply menu as Pending. 
To approve the post, edit and click Publish.
