Hi All, I posted this on the trac ticket too, in case others are interested:

I’ve taken a slightly different approach to Robin, for me I only have logged in users on my forums, and I want to show the pending reply with a warning so the user knows it’s pending but exists. The below will show pending replies to the author who wrote them and a warning to the author that the reply is pending, as well as adding a warning specific to moderators so they clearly know to moderate it.

Hope it helps someone!

/**
 * Modifies the SQL query for reply loops so that reply authors can view their own replies that are still pending
 * @param $where string
 * @param $wp_query WP_Query
 * @return string
 */
function bbp_allow_members_pending_view( $where, $wp_query ){
	global $wpdb;
	$type = $wp_query->query_vars['post_type'];
	if( $type == bbp_get_reply_post_type() && !current_user_can('moderate') && is_user_logged_in() ){
		// check reply here
		$user_id = get_current_user_id();
		$find = "{$wpdb->prefix}posts.post_author = $user_id AND {$wpdb->prefix}posts.post_status = 'private'";
		$replace = $find . $wpdb->prepare(" OR {$wpdb->prefix}posts.post_author = %d AND {$wpdb->prefix}posts.post_status = %s", $user_id, bbp_get_pending_status_id());
		$where = str_replace( $find, $replace, $where );
	}
	return $where;
}
add_action('posts_where', 'bbp_allow_members_pending_view', 10, 2);

/**
 * Shows a warning above pending replies, different warning for mods and the author.
 */
function my_bbp_allow_members_pending_view_warning(){
	if( bbp_get_reply_status() == bbp_get_pending_status_id() ){
		if( current_user_can('moderate') ){
			$warning = 'This reply is pending moderation, approve so others can see it or trash it!';
		}elseif( bbp_get_reply_author_id() == get_current_user_id() ){
			$warning = 'This reply is pending moderation, others will see it once a moderator approves it.';
		}
		if( !empty($warning) ){
			echo '<div class="bbp-template-notice notice"><ul><li>'.$warning.'</li></ul></div>';
		}
	}
}
add_action( 'bbp_theme_before_reply_content', 'my_bbp_allow_members_pending_view_warning');
