  I would like to remove these as well.
  "why do you want to join?" TOS and Gender.
  
  I too attempted the change to registerapproval.php as suggested here: How to customize the 'Apply for Membership' form
  
  As elchfan discovered, hiding the fields is not the solution.
  
  Anyone?

  BUMP.

  I'm also able to remove the appropriate fields, but validation is still looking for them. This is a pretty critical requirement.

  additionally to taking out the lines in registerapproval

  go to application>dashboard>controllers>class.entrycontroller.php

  line 1016

  $this->UserModel->Validation->ApplyRule('DiscoveryText', 'Required', 'Tell us why you want to join!');

  to

  $this->UserModel->Validation->ApplyRule('DiscoveryText', 'Optional', 'Tell us why you want to join!');

  where "Optional" was only a guess, but it did make it possible to register without the field

  edit: for TOS change the line 1013

  $this->UserModel->Validation->ApplyRule('TermsOfService', 'Required', T('You must agree to the terms of service.'));

  edit: of course this will only work as long as you don't update the core files
