Turns out that the file and function to modify was: `wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-filters.php` -->`function bp_core_activation_signup_user_notification( $user, $user_email, $key, $meta )` Isn't is redundant to have two functions so similar to each other? Both the above function and `wp-content\plugins\buddypress\bp-core\bp-core-signup.php` -->`function bp_core_signup_send_validation_email( $user_id, $user_email, $key )` are extraordinarily similar to each other. It's kinda frustrating. I'd consider developing a plugin, but perhaps I'll wait for the first release of WP 3.0. Figured this out, finally. Turns out that the file and function to modify was:

I tried modifying bp-core-signup.php but it didn't work for me. And bp-core-activation.php is not present in my directory. Was that file deprecated?

This works well for smaller signups where you don’t get a huge number of new bloggers on a daily basis, and where spammers have proven to be a general nusiance, a potential embarrasement, as well as a time suck.

“Directly underneath” where?

You got the error for one of three reasons: - it wasn't copied correctly (sometimes scraping it can catch odd characters) - you're using a different php version - there's something different in the latest code. The error you're getting means there's a stray colon somewhere, an error in syntax, which leads me to believe it may be a combo of a different php version (I haven't tried this on php5) and possibly a change in the recent code. The code changes pretty often, so something form a few months ago may certainly need changing. If you just change the email text, that’s all it does – send different emails, no moderation.
