I agree. Probably we'll change it in future releases.

Please go to Dashboard > Forums > Tools > Privacy & Rules admin page and check all these again. The terms and privacy policy page URL fields should be empty.

unfortunately I can't post a link for now as it's a work in progress closed from external access, but here is an image of how it looks like.

Please leave a link to your forum registration page, i think it's not the wpForo checkbox, it comes from other plugin.

as you can see in the image, I disabled the box, but it still shows when a guest tries to post.

I don't want guets to have to check this box and I expected this setting to disable it. Shouldn't it be the case?

is there anyway not to force guest to check the "I have read and agree to the Terms and Privacy policy" box?

I was thinking that disabling the "Checkbox: I Agree to Forum Privacy Policy" option would to it but to no avail.

I know this box goes away after first post, but still I want to be able to disable it completely.
