BuddyPress.org

hi! I’m starting to work with BuddyPress to see if it suits our needs on a website I work for and started to dig into the codebase (12 beta4).

I saw that some files bp_is_active( 'messages', 'star' ) suggesting that the star feature is identified as active or inactive.
I don’t need any starring feature, is there a way to properly deactivate it programmatically so that any mention to it is removed everywhere?

Thanks in advance for your help!
