I know that in most cases you don't want to have the "I agree" checkbox preselected, but we want our user's registration to be as simple as possible. What do you think of adding an admin option to have the 'I agree' checkbox selected by default? Would you be willing to add something like this to the module if we contributed a patch?

Well, here's a patch for this if anyone is interested. It also fixes the 'ckeckbox' typo on the settings page.

I want to suggest an option of having no checkbox at all. Instead, use a submit button wording like "Agree and Register" or something along those lines, like some streamlined websites do these days. Links or terms of use text should be still shown of course. It is a separate use case in addition to the proposed ticked checkbox. BTW, button re-labeling is easy to implement (like in iTweak Login module), but one needs to be careful to not make these two modules collide. Maybe even merge their functionality into one, if maintainers are open for it.

To list all use cases (that I can think of):

A. Show terms of use
B. Link to terms of use
C. Link to terms of use, open in lightbox/popup if corresponding module is available (it is quite simple, as I done in iTweak Upload)

1. Checkbox, must tick it
2. Checkbox, already ticked
3. Modified submit button "Accept and ***"

A combination of a letter and a number will cover all possible scenarios.

What do people here think - does it cover all cases? Are all these cases reasonable?

I personally can see using A1, B1, C1, B3, C3 on different sites I maintain.

I like iva2k's idea and there are more issues about this. Let's see how we can get all of this in a single solution.

Yeah, I think having all these options would be great. We can help work on and review some patches, if needed.
