You can configure a forum so that it is moderated. It means that all posts must be approved by one of the forum moderators before they are published in the forum.

The moderators automatically receive an e-mail notification when a new item is waiting for approval. The e-mail template can be modified in Site Manager -> Development -> E-mail templates -> Forums - Moderator notification.
