How are you going to be able to enforce this? I mean, I don't plan on engaging in e-mail exchanges with the other players. (And if you have a way of monitoring my e-mails then I would apreciate you telling me how, and should I now worry about my e-mail being monitored by you?)

It just seems wierd how this rule seems to imply that you can monitor e-mails.

Cheers!
Ahh, but I do got a mail monitor program, constantly scanning all mails sent in the world with certain keywords, including NGC4....

It's a standard rule in many games, not just mine. It means that I trust you on this by informing you that you shouldn't do it.
If it somehow comes out that it has happened there will be kickin done.

It has happened in games I've played before, usually by people forgetting about the rule but the recepient usually remembers the rule and then they both go public with the mistake. (it migh have happened much more but that I wouldn't know of).
(Mistakes usually don't get you kicked!)
