With the WordPress Questions and Answers, you can easily include a disclaimer that asks users to agree to your terms when they visit your forum for the first time.
A forum disclaimer is a short text that states the terms and conditions for using your site’s forum.
The admin can control the visibility and functionality of their WordPress forum disclaimer, and add the text of both the disclaimer itself and the accept/reject buttons.

What should I include in my WordPress forum disclaimer?
A forum disclaimer is a short text that states the terms and conditions for using your site’s forum. For example, many forum disclaimers ask their users to avoid posting messages that contain advertisements, or any sort of marketing content. Other forum disclaimers ask their users to write their posts in a respectful and non-offensive manner to avoid assaults.
Since users must accept the WordPress forum disclaimer terms before they can post on your forum, it can be used as a binding legal virtue in cases of violation.
