Set [newuser] survey=false in your ctrl/modopts. As documented here:
https://wiki.synchro.net/module:newuser

Set SCFG->External Programs->Online Programs->Main->Avatar Chooser->Execute On Event to "No".

What does "/c:" accomplish? I suspect you're just not using findstr correctly. The string is found in exec/newuser.js and logon.js:
/sbbs/exec/logon.js:    options.guest_referral = "\x01y\x01hWhere did you hear about this BBS?\r\n: \x01w";
/sbbs/exec/newuser.js:  print("\1y\1hWhere did you hear about this BBS?");
