How to prevent community content from being used to train LLMs like ChatGPT?

Oh, something important to add. If you restrictively license the content of your forum, you might in the worst case make it difficult or impossible to migrate your forum to a new platform. Don’t do that!

(There’s a social aspect too, although it might be minor. If your forum terms say that a person’s contributions become the property of the forum, that will put some people off. But you need something: you don’t want users who leave to be able to insist that all their posts should be removed. This is a different problem to the topic here, but it shows that terms are important.)
