 Update wpforo and now I'm getting these emails. 

This post is currently unapproved. You can approve posts in Dashboard » Forums » Moderation admin page.

How do I turn off the moderation "thingy"?

You can approve new topic and posts in Dashboard > Forums > Moderation admin page. This works like WP native comment approving process. If wpForo suspect some topic as spam it makes unapproved to allow you review before it becomes published on forum. Only spam suspected topics and replies become unapproved, and only new registered users topic and posts are under spam control. Please read new wpForo 1.2.0 release changelog before updating and using it:

https://wpforo.com/community/wpforo-announcements/wpforo-1-2-0-is-released/

I'd recommend decrease spam control level instead of turn it off. Navigate in Dashboard to Forums > Tools > Antispam admin page and set spam control level values to something like this:

  • Spam Suspicion Level for Topics: 60
  • Spam Suspicion Level for Posts: 70

I think it worth to spend a few seconds for topic approval instead of having spam topics on front-end.

In any case if you want totally turn it off, you can set "No" wpForo Spam Control in the same admin page.
