First Post Moderation
When a new user creates a post for the very first time, their post will await moderation until it is manually approved by a Mod or an Admin. This helps cut down on spam or fake accounts.
To approve a new post, simply click the "Approve" button on the bottom toolbar of the forum topic.

How to Ban a User
Let's face it: sometimes, you've just got to ban a user. Either they're a spam-bot, or they break the rules too many times, you need to be able to cut off their access (whether permanently or temporarily).
To ban / suspend a user:
- Hover your mouse over the Community tab in admin toolbar at the top of your screen.
- Scroll down and click on the Members link.
- Find the member you wish to ban, and click the Ban option, under their name.
