Disable to send EMail with Forum-System for Users lower than Admin
Disable activation of this function for each user by removing option out of "Register Page" and "Profile Edit Page".
-> no one is able to activate this feature
-> if no one is able to activate this feature, no one is able to use it (only admins are still able to use it globaly)
drawback:
people who enabled "Allow users to email you?" before this mod is installed, can not change this feature anymore.
Mod needs to be disabled to change this option in profile.

Congrats on your second mod :)
Excellent, thank you. :)
I think this is the query to set everyone's profile to hide email:
UPDATE `smf_members` SET `hide_email` = 1 WHERE `hide_email`=0

That should work, yes :)
Nice... this saved me a lot of manual edits done previously.

how do you do this. im still kind of new to this stuff
you have to go into your database.. for example by using "Adminer 4.2.1 for MySQL (http://www.adminer.org)"

If you have Cpanel hosting, you will probably already have PHPadmin to access the database.
Is it possible to block sending emails for a specific user, not for all members?
This isn't entirely a fix, but you could place that individual user into a unique forum group and change the permissions of the group to restrict the number of private messages they can send. 0 = unlimited, so may have to limit it to 1. Not sure if that will work for you, but maybe.

Sure it would be helpful advice.:)
I am trying to figure how can I restrict that group a permissions for not allowing sending emails.
I don't want to send mails, not even 1.
Works well. However there is 1 flaw. During the registration, the POST can be successfully altered with manually inserted HTML code.
To fix this issue, you can find and change the following:
Open Register.php, and find:
// By default assume email is hidden, only show it if we tell it to.
$_POST['hide_email'] = !empty($_POST['allow_email']) ? 0 : 1;
Replace with:
// Email is always hidden by default, when registering.
$_POST['hide_email'] = 1;
Changed the comment, to reflect the new code correctly.
