Sometimes, you just want to correct a spelling mistake in your T&C, and you don't want to force your users to re-accept the same terms and conditions as before. This patch adds a checkbox to declare certain changes to the T&C "minor." Such changes only update the most T&C version, they do not add a new version to the legal_conditions table.

I'm not going to include this patch...

Once you make any sort of change to the T&Cs it is legally a new version, there is no such thing as a 'minor' change.

People should really spell check and carefully proof-read T&Cs before publishing them - so I think a better solution is to add a help text note advising them to do that, and warning that any amendments will require users to accept the T&C's again.

Any chance you might reconsider this request? If there is demand for this feature (I, for one, would like to have it), why not let people use it at their own risk? You could put a warning such as the one you wrote above alongside the setting to turn off the re-acceptance.

Here's why I want it:

I just switched my terms presentation from scroll-box to page link (so absolutely no change to the terms themselves), and it's making all my users re-accept.

Another use case: Say your terms state that all users need to be 13 years or older. Then at a later date, just for good measure, you decide to add a checkbox titled "I am at least 13 years old" to the legal form. So your terms haven't changed (the checkbox just reiterates something that was in your terms), and you don't want to put all your users through the inconvenience of re-accepting the terms (since they haven't changed).

What do you think?

Nope. The purpose of this module is to prove to both parties that what was displayed in the T&Cs was EXACTLY what was agreed to.

The change in display style triggering a re-accept is a genuine bug that I'll be dealing with:
