Why use 2 modes to do the work of one? I like it the way it is by default.

Listen... if a webmaster installs this hack, they are not going to be in a "catch 22 situation" later on. They know that the rule step was skipped, and they obviously wanted that or they would not install this.

What makes you think this is going to cause problems later on? Do you think the webmaster is going to foolishly forget he installed this and legally go after a member who did not follow some rules they never saw? Who legally goes after members for breaking forum rules anyway?

Please.... we understand that you do not like this mod. Either take the code and do something that makes you happy and I will delete this one, or unsubscribe to this thread.

You really need to work on your people skills. Be careful in the future.

This might be a stupid question regarding the topic of this mod, but how can one alter the forum rules in the forum rules step rather than remove the step entirely? I am sure that no two boards will be alike and everyone will want to have their own custom rules set into that step.

If there is already a mod for what I am asking, then I must ask if it is compatible with 3.7.X?

If you have the TOS and the disclaimer in place the forum rules is an added step which no one reads. For me I wanted to skip it because I use vmail - and it is very easy to forward the forum rules in the vmail email.

One step less and the forum rules are in their inbox. Mention that if you continue registration you accept the rules.
