Comment (by emaralive):

 @imath,

 From what I can tell **{{{bp_activity_hide_user_activity()}}}** is called
 from within **{{{bp_core_process_spammer_status()}}}** (see
 [https://github.com/buddypress/buddypress/blob/master/src/bp-members/bp-
 members-functions.php#L817 src/bp-members/bp-members-functions.php#L817]),
 thus deprecating the aforementioned function and removing lines 815
 through 818 as well any applicable lines for spacing consideration from
 the aforementioned file seems pretty straightforward, unless I'm missing
 something that isn't readily apparent to me, at the moment.

 Additionally, I think there is opportunity to visit or revisit **Activity
 Moderation**, perhaps in a different ticket, because reliance on 3rd party
 plugins to perform such services may not be optimal for a variety of
 reasons:
 * Some require payment, IOW they are commercial must pay to download and
 use.

  * [https://youzify.com/downloads/buddypress-moderation-plugin/ BuddyPress
 Moderation] by Youzify
 * Some may be free to start but require payment for other features, i.e.,
 the most useful ones.
  * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/bp-toolkit/ Block, Suspend, Report for
 BuddyPress] by Bouncingsprout Studio

 And, of course, there is [https://wordpress.org/plugins/akismet/ Akismet
 Anti-spam: Spam Protection] that seems to be on the verge of
 commercialism. As an aside, I have noticed that there is code within BP
 that is relevant to **Akismet**, just saying. The bottom line or my point
 is that the !BuddyPress Team should be considering how to fill, from what
 I can see, an obvious void.
