Leon,

It goes back to an expectation of privacy, if people want everybody to see their posts then they would post on the board. However, when they send personal e-mail to board members they expect that e-mail to remain private.

So when you pass rules just make sure that you only regulate conduct on this Board.

If you get lots of complaints about any individual for their posting on this Board, then that's a good reason to ban.

However, if it's complaints about what they said in private e-mails then that's not a good reason to ban.
