    Purely from the Admin POV it seems that you can’t have users registering to post UNLESS you change your WP settings and also force users who want to comment to register, AND that you can’t hold forum posts in moderation, they go live on the site (spam / offensive comments problem).
    I’m sure there are plugins but plugins come and go and I don’t want to rely on them for what should be core features.
    I didn’t bother exploring any further.

    Have you considered posting a question on the support forums from that (complex) plugin?

    My mistake. I spent half an hour on Google researching it post-installation.

    http://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/
    ‘To allow automatic registration, go to Dashboard>Settings>General settings and under membership, tick “anyone can register”. Then in Dashboard>settings>forums tick the auto role, and ensure this is only at participant level.’

    I mistook that for ‘Users must be registered and logged in to comment ‘ in the comments section.

    The ‘pending’ issue was from some old posts that I discovered and the existence of an up to date plugin that implied that ‘pending’ posts were still an issue.

    Completely at fault. Amend it to five since I didn’t do a proper test. Trying to find the right forum software without spending hours on each one so install it, see if it’s intuitive, quick research on what doesn’t seem obvious and then onto the next. Vanilla looks best so far.
