I need to customize this AND the error message when someone hits the "decline" button:

"I'm sorry. You declined to accept our agreement so I cannot process your request. Please start again."

As with (I hope!) all the standard text displayed by LDM, these messages are held in phrases. Go to your VB admincp, languages and phrases, search phrases, and enter part of the text, or look for two phrases called ll_agreement and ll_agreement_delined

Yes it is, but it serves a different purpose. The 'Use Policy' message is displayed at the top of the Add and Edit Link forms.

These are different ways of letting people know that they should respect the contents of your database. The 'Use Policy' is a softly-softly approach that was added to LDM quite early in its development to tell people what they can add. Nothing happens if the user ignores it (except that I imagine your moderators will delete the entries). The force_accept setting asks users to accept the terms before being able to download entries.

Like so many things that grow organically, there are inconsistencies in the interface to LDM, and I appreciate that you flag this one.
