Enabling RequireValidatedEmail in config.php like this: <code>addPlugin('RequireValidatedEmail', array('grandfatherCutoff' => 'Jun 1, 2019'));</code> When i try to register a new account, after filling the info and clicking on "Register", this message appears: "You must validate your email address before posting". The new account is not created and no email is sent, so there's no way to do it. I've also tried adding "array('disallowlogin' => 'false'));", but the results are the same.

~~gnusocial.net uses this plugin, they encountered this bug and they fixed it. https://gnusocial.net/conversation/4613553#notice-7666485~~ EDIT: heard from @administrator@gnusocial.net that they "fixed" by using future date in `grandfatherCutoff`.

if error message is exact, then it comes from https://notabug.org/diogo/gnu-social/src/nightly/plugins/RequireValidatedEmail/RequireValidatedEmailPlugin.php#L100 why `onStartNoticeSave` is called on registration?
