How to make users to explicitly agree to ToS

You can add a mandatory checkbox to the sign-up form.

Is there a way to force existing users (not just new users) to check the box before logging in? I’m about to import many users into Discourse, and they won’t have checked that box, so I don’t think it will work, except maybe for new Discourse sites.

To complicate things further: let’s say user A accepted to have their data processed as laid out in your tos when they signed up. A few months or years later, you change your tos in such a way that user A would not accept them, i.e. would not sign up. Doesn’t this mean that in order to fulfil the requirement of being able to demonstrate that the user consented, it’s not sifficient to have a record of the ticked check-box but you need a copy of the tos as they were at the sine of sign-up, no?

Drupal 7 has a module called Legal that saves the versions of the terms that users have agreed to. I think you can’t log-in without checking the boxes. It might be worth looking at for ideas.
