I am talking about the heading 1 (h1), the first thing in the body as in:
"• Write your header tags prominently at the beginning of your content, ideally after the <body> tag."
If you run a SMF forum in an on-page software tool you actually scores -10 points as there are no H1 to be found.

There is an h1 to be found. It's right where I showed you. That's what an h1 is: a html tag that is used to denote the primary heading for the page. If you have some software tool that tells you there is no h1, then methinks said tool is borken.

That, too :)
Probably the tool searches on root-level of the document, something which it shouldn't do.

Well, it want hurt to optimize the forum on specific keywords, content for sure gets you traffic but optimizing for some keywords gets the forum up in the serp for sure.
I've done a little SEO on my forum and the mainurl now ranks on position 3 in Google for those keywords I have optimized on.
Here is a on-page submission on this forum using "simple machines" as keyword. Even though the title has "simple machines" in it, there is no H1 main headline to be found on the on-page of the forum.
"H1 - H1 does not contain the keyword.
H1, a Web page's main headline. Search engines use to determine what the page is about. Having the keyword in H1 is therefore very important. -10 points"
Here is the submission itself, it's in Swedish so you'll have to translate it.

The tool searches on-page on the landing-page of the url and the guy who has developed it, well, let's say he knows his stuff about SEO.

Probably not correctly, because there IS a <h1> tag. Just not in the root of the document.
