I migrated an old custom forum to bbpress, and today (I opened the forum yesterday) a user registered and wrote a topic, but it wasn’t visible (I noticed this by accident because the section in the frontend where it says “x topics are not public” is really small), and I had to manually approve it.
Why? Do I have to set the permissions for registered users somewhere?
Thanks

If you are not using Askismet plugin or a moderation plugin, then

dashboard>settings>discussion>comment moderation.

Is it because of this option I set by chance?

Before a comment appears: Comment authors must have a previously approved comment.

I also set “Keep a comment in queue if it contains 2 or more links (a common characteristic of comment spam is a large number of links).”

and the post had 4 images loaded via code and HTML links.

Are forum topics and comments treated as if they were WP comments?

Thanks

yes that would be it, and yes bbpress uses these settings for moderation

Perfect, thanks, you’re always so kind…
I wanted to send you a private message to show you the incredible results I achieved by migrating a custom forum to wp + bb + bbp, but there’s no way to contact you.
I also tried contacting you on your website, but my antivirus is blocking it.
