The TOS on vBulletin forums

Does vBulletin come with a page that i can toss at members with the forums TOS? If it doesn't, how do I go about creating a normal vBulletin looking page but nothing but the TOS on it, so I can throw it at misbehaving members?

I use one that I like even better. It actually forces first time posters to accept the rules by clicking a checkbox and then hitting OK.
Before I installed reCAPTCHA, this was the only way I had of stopping spammers from at least posting a message.

I've used a couple of mods mentioned here...
(used the Cyb - Advanced Forum Rules for my previous forum)

But now, I prefer to create custom pages for TOS, Privacy Policy, etc...

I think I am going to try it out, since I have a bit of a human/bot spammer problem (I'm not sure which).

I would suggest looking at other TOS' of other forums that are related to yours. You could get some ideas that you could include (such as no spamming, etc.)

Then, you should make the thread with the ideas that you have gathered. Use your own words and include consequences of each action.

That is what I would do, and is exactly what I am doing for my forum.
