Forum Sections
Forum exists as a vocabulary in taxonomy, with each section being a term to be added, removed, organized and updated as-needed. This is one of the rare instances where term description is used in Apiboost, which your forum section descriptions are the term descriptions in taxonomy.
You can find the setting here: Structure → Taxonomy → Forums or by using the left hand menu:
Accessible from the left menu
Order matters when altering the forums vocabulary. Using the drag and drop, adjust the sort order of your forum sections so they appear correctly for your end users.
Forum Posts
By default, any authenticated user is allowed to post a new thread or comment in an existing one. When posting a new thread, the user has a reference field to tag the thread with related products, tying in with documentation pages as they display recent forum threads related to the respective API products.

Moderating Content
By default, anonymous users can’t post. That can be changed, however authentication isn’t much of a barrier if registration is allowed. Since all posts are nodes, moderation is essentially controlling content the same way one normally would - except it’s content being authored by users.
Admins and content managers have can access forum moderation from: Content → Comments or by viewing the posts and using the operation links in the top right corner.
