I have a WordPress blog (blogging and technology niche) with 10,000 monthly SEO traffic (95% from Google).

I have decided to add forum using bbPress to that blog (www.example.com/forum/). I can't maintain a high quality content on forum. Yes, I can remove spam posts but still their may be lots of thin low quality content on forum.

So it can hurt SEO traffic? Will it lose current SEO traffic also?

As you most probably already understood, if you can't control the high quality of the forum, it's probably not a good idea. Indeed, it can penalize your existing blog on SEO side, especially because the forum is on the same site (in the directory /forum/ in your case).

However, if you want to go into a forum, you can create a subdomain for it (like forum.example.com). As Google considers a subdomain as different website from your main domain for SEO, you can try to provide a forum to your users.

Of course, I encourage you to try to keep the forum as clean as you can. And anyway, if you notice that it gets a lot of spam, you could remove it.
