Forced agreements

[Ash]

I'm not sure if everyone has come across this before but you do sometimes get sites that force you to "read" the terms and conditions and privacy policy of the site before you can use it. I don't mean during the registration process but usually, this occurs when there has been an update to the documents.

Have you come across this before?

Yes, in fact when I do edit the agreements or have done changes to anything regards to that then IPB automatic has the box checked that makes people have to agree before using the site. Ash you may have to do it in the pass on Bayside if you recall. Hence you making this topic then hehehehe

But I remember that I did not force it twice. Once I was checking the spelling mistakes and editing the mistakes.

I understand if its a legal thing, I know I will require if I make a major update to the rules. But some sites need to lay back on the enforcement.

I think I remember it on your site but it wasn't recent right? It was more of a general post and not because of Bayside lol.

Forgot about the legal side of it. I guess that is why some businesses like Uber Eats also inform you of T&C changes by email. Don't remember if they force you to accept the changes before using the app again though.

Was some years ago now. I have not edited or changed it at all since then.

I mean there is no need to do it right Xd

I’ve come across that before. I can see sites doing it however, it never guarantees someone actually READS it. They just have to click I AGREE. To make it look more legit, you just need to set a timer for a couple of minutes if it’s more than one page.

It's annoying but yes I've come across this. I also find it exasperating when I click on a shared link to an article then being prompted to sign up for a subscription in order to read the rest of the article.

If there is an update then it is in the interest of the user that they should read those updates without being froced to do it That is my opinion

I remember having to use that feature once...and now I can't remember why!! Maybe it was to let members know that they needed to reset their passwords?

I've seen this on numerous XenForo forums. When they update their terms/rules or the privacy policy, you can set it so that it prompts users to agree to them again.
