Advanced Rules and User Agreement Hack v2.0.0
------------------------------------------------------------
This Hack is Port of UAE's Rules and User Agreement Hack.
And I have this one together combined with my old
"Rules Hack v1.5"

Hack Version: 2.0.0
vB-version: 3.6.4
Developers: UAE and Hasann
Install-difficulty: Easy
Port of: Rules and User Agreement Hack

Requested Here: Hasann was wondering if you and uae who wrote the Rules and User Agreement Hack could get together and combine your modifications into one package?

Introduction:

Advanced Rules and User Agreement Hack Is an agreement rules systems, that requires user to agree to each individual forum or/and pages rules within the whole board community ?if applicable? prior to permission them to different action (Viewing a Forum, Posting New Thread for the first time, Posting New Thread, Posting Reply).

This will limit the forum breaches that occur often due to unawareness of the rules and agreement. This shall automate the manual procedures that are followed by users to read the ?rules and agreement? and will enforce to some extent the users to be aware of rules in place. Moreover this will eliminate the options of any denial by certain users of not being aware of ?rules and agreements? being in place for the desired forum.

This can also be used as alerts, broadcasts, messages and tutorials? etc to certain individual, multi users or groups.

A number of posts have been removed. Please remember that vb.org is an english only forum, esp in support threads.

Thanks.

Very cool hack. Thanks!

This looks to be a great mod but I do have one question before I click install.

Would this include the rules box when someone registers?

Thanks!
