Improve UX of settings page

While that is true, I intentionally decreased the "severity" of that note.

Mollom's ToS only instruct you to do it, because if your site operates in a legal territory that has strict(er) data privacy laws (such as in the EU), then you're legally required to inform your visitors about the privacy of their data anyway.

At the same time, no such data privacy laws exist in e.g. the US.

In the end, failure to educate your site visitors about how their data will be used or processed is not Mollom's problem. As a site owner who accepts user input in any way (including any other third-party services), it is your own responsibility to educate site visitors about the privacy of their data, not Mollom's.

It starts with trivial things like Cookies, and it ends in (all) third-party web services that may process your data (in any way).

In short, all Mollom's ToS are doing is to "remind" you of a legal detail that is (too) often overlooked by site owners. Since that legalese vastly depends on the territory that your website operates in, it is safe to weaken the language from "you are required" to "you should".

Lastly, also note that this entire privacy policy output + option was introduced only ~2 years ago, and since it's a theme-affecting change, we had to disable it by default for all existing sites.

Thanks for your UX review, @Bojhan! :)

Regarding the last checkbox, I agree that the description appears to be unnecessary.

I explored some rewordings already, but ultimately wondered whether we need to negate that checkbox...? E.g.:

[ ] Mute normal Mollom operations in log messages

...or perhaps even negate its technical meaning (and default it to off instead of on):

[ ] Record all Mollom interactions in log messages

The default value is to only log warnings and errors.

The intended optional value proposition is to allow users (rather developers) to see all of Mollom's interactions in Drupal's log messages (as opposed to errors only).

To perhaps clarify, I refused to add that [advanced] option in the past. But as of ~2013, the general need for having this data for debugging purposes vastly decreased, as the Mollom service became much more accurate; only warnings and errors are of interest now.

The option only exists to "increase trust" for technically versed users, allowing them to inspect what Mollom is or was doing. By default, only warnings and errors are logged. When testing mode is enabled (the checkbox right above), all messages are logged by default.
