Message:

Stop creating a user when a signup is performed on regular WP configs

Since version 2.0, we are using the $wpdb->signups table to manage pending accounts. We kept on creating a user as well as a user meta to store the activation key for regular WP configs.

This user creation step is now deprecated and by default no user will be created on any WordPress config once a user signs up. In next BP major version we'll fully remove the code but until then you can always use the bp_signups_create_user filter (returning true) or define the deprecated constant BP_SIGNUPS_SKIP_USER_CREATION to false to carry on creating the user on regular WP configs.

This move allows us to fix a 9 years old ticket and is more consistent: signups are becoming users only when they validate their account.
