Activity Stream – Remove specific activities

I recently added achievements for buddypress and along with the regular activities they are really spamming up the system. It looks like nothing is happening, except a few unimportant things. I really want to remove:
new users
friend creation
all achievements

I am still an amateur, but really want to learn to do these things. If someone could guide me through the steps of how to find what to change and how I only choose specific attributes. I always have trouble finding the right functions to use. Any help in this direction would be great.

You can put this function in your theme functions.php or bp-custom.php

It will prevent the creation of activity entries for the items in $exclude
It will only do that going forward – it won’t remove existing entries.

You need to find out what the activity type(s) is for achievements and add it to the exclude array.
```
function dont_save_various_activities( $activity_object ) {
 
    $exclude = array( 'friendship_created', 'new_member' );

    if( in_array( $activity_object->type, $exclude ) )
        $activity_object->type = false;
 
}
add_action('bp_activity_before_save', 'dont_save_various_activities', 1, 1 );
```
