 It would be very helpful if we could receive visual support during
 moderation, namely if the items “Spam” and “Pending” were somehow
 highlighted in the right sidebar (thread view) when posts are awaiting
 approval (To put this request into context: I am a moderator on the German
 WordPress forum de.w.org/support).

 Email notifications are probably well suited for less frequented forums
 (as indicated in the ticket). A number indicating how many spam or pending
 posts are waiting to be approved is unnecessary. It would be sufficient to
 highlight the “Spam” and “Pending” menu items in some way when there are
 posts waiting to be approved: text color, border, icon, etc.

 It often happens that we respond, but there are already pending posts in
 this thread and often the responses are superfluous or miss the point. You
 would have to check before every response whether there are spam or
 pending posts waiting to be approved.
