Comment:

 In [changeset:"11766"]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="11766"
 Members: Require a form submission to activate an account.

 Previously, simply loading a URL of the form `/activate/12345` would
 activate
 the account with key `12345`. This caused conflicts with some mail
 scanning
 services, which follow links in emails, causing accounts to be self-
 activated.

 A small backward-compatibility layer ensures that custom activate.php
 templates containing forms with `action="get"` continue to work.

 Fixes #6049.
