With changing local laws and evolving community rules & regulations, it is necessary to edit the Terms & Conditions page at times. But currently it’s not possible to force all existing users to re-accept the T&C.
Therefore we propose that the Terms & Conditions page gets an additional feature:
When editing the page you get two options:
- Save T&C without noticing all registered users (e.g. when you only fix a typo or change some minor layout issues)
- Save T&C and make all registered users re-accept when they login the next time (e.g. when you add a new paragraph regarding data protection)
If you choose the second option, then an overlay appears the next time an already registered users logs in or starts a new session in the community, providing a link to the Terms & Conditions page and forcing the users to accept before they can continue.
Interesting idea. I don’t have a particular need for this as our agreements are written to allow for ongoing T&C updates without notification, but can see how some folks may require this from time-to-time when changes occur. Like the options you’ve provided.
Thanks for submitting your idea@bjoern_schulze , and sorry for the late reply.
I know this idea has come up before. Currently we don’t have any concrete plans for this yet, so for now I’ll leave the idea open.
Upvoted. Any new thoughts on pursuing this?
