How did you set up the moderators? In bbpress Core, using a plugin?

In core (so no plugin used).
Please elaborate. Where/how exactly did you set up the moderation. What did you click, how did you assign the user, etc.
Also, what version of bbpress and WP are you on?

Users were imported using csv into WP, then got the Forum Moderator role manually assigned in bulk from the Edit Users screen. WP is latest version, BBPress is 2.5.14.x
And how exactly did you set which moderator is assigned to which forum? I don’t see an option for that in the core.

I didn’t (didn’t claim so either), I just mentioned that we organised it this way. In the meantime I discovered that bbPress 2.6 will support this functionality. Are there workarounds available to your knowledge, using your plugin (maybe in conjunction with other functionality?)?
We have separate moderators for different forums.
That’s what made me think you had already assigned different moderators to specific forums.
I have a bridge for someone else’s bbpressmoderation plugin, but that moderation plugin hasn’t been updated in a while. And I don’t think it features per-forum moderation, either.
I googled a bit and found a proof of concept in github. https://gist.github.com/Dragooon/9674227
It doesn’t add any UI changes (nor have I tested it), but it’s got instructions on how to add the user. If that works, you can hook into bbpress_topic_notify_recipients and remove any users that do not have moderation capabilities.
The filter is applied as follows.
apply_filters( 'bbpress_topic_notify_recipients', $recipients, $topic_id, $forum_id );
I hope this helps.

Thanks so much for going the extra mile! Will check this out on my development installation.
