I really enjoy my new account at surpasshosting. I would not want to infringe on that in any capacity but i have been wondering what the legality? ethics? responsibility? of using announcement and auto emailing members of our forums that we use.

i currently use Enigma portal with a YabbSe forum. I tried a few others... and i liked and enjoyed the features of one sign in for most of the things that i wanted in trying to get a portal.


Anyways... i always wonder by using this type of forum if i email members that have registered to the site if there is spam issues if i decide to email all members with news or events or interesting topics? i am not trying to sell anything but i dont want an issue with someone emailing surpasshosting and saying im spamming them!

Does that make sense? i dont know if i have to be more explicit in the registration process that ... emails may come from time to time... or ...if i need to set up a different emailing list for people to specifically sign up to . to me.. that is the same. if someone signs up for a special interest site,forum,portal... there was some interest in the topic at hand to begin with .

Input , comments or policy would be appreciated.
Like i said initially , i wouldnt want to infringe on my relationship with surpasshosting

TIA
