This will be a problem, spamming.

SMF, has the NOTIFY feature in the members profile. it also has "Announcement Email".

example issue:  You bann a person, they continue to receive emails generated by this feature that THEY selected. So, in a hostile move, the contact the HOST and claim SPAMMING.

Solution: your TOS needs to take in account that SMF forums have this.


In fact, the TOS needs to address and protect the forum owners from the members they have banned.

Thanks for mentioning this.  I've found out that the next version of SMF will no longer include members in future emails once they've been emailed.

For now, I'm aware of that issue, and will take it into consideration if that sort of situation arises.  You could always remove the email accounts from the forum once you ban someone. 

Regards,
Jason
