 * Please help me with the following:
    I need new users to register WP/BP and wait
   for Admin approval. Approval won’t happen immediately (maybe later the same day,
   maybe next day).
 * So, can I redirect them back to the homepage?
    Can I set some default text on
   the registration page to tell them what to expect? If so, could you tell me how?
   I know default emails go out, but I’d like to explain the process up front.
 * Thanks.

 * One thing to make sure is understood, we don’t prevent access to the site as 
   a whole, we do prevent access, in varying levels, to the BuddyPress and bbPress
   areas of the website.
 * If you simply have the “users must be moderated” setting checked, they’ll be 
   able to read, but not interact with the BP/bbP sections. If you also have “Private
   Network” checked, then they won’t even be able to read, they’ll be sent to their
   own specific profile with a note at the top saying they’re still in moderation.
 * The only time we do redirection at the moment, is if in private network. We would
   need to determine exactly when you want them redirected if doing your own solution.
 * We don’t handle the registration page, that’s all BuddyPress itself, so you’d
   need to check their hooks and customization methods for that. We come in afterwards
   and after they’ve activated their account.
