Description

even if Simplenews Roles is on for a given newsletter/role
it is possible to unsubscribe from a newsletter

1) either on user's account page at user/*/edit/newsletter;
2) or via unsub link sent in emails

although such action is soon overriden by Simplenews Roles module

it would be better to disable the possibility of unsubscribing for appropriate roles (i.e. roles ticked on a given newsletter settings page)

I think being able to unsubscribe from mass mailings is a legal requirement in a lot of countries.
So I'm not sure this is a feature for this module to provide.
In fact, I plan on removing the removal of the unsub link in emails.

However, this feature could be done with hook_form_alter and the simplenews_roles_mail_alter from this module.
But it would be better off in a seperate module so it can be used by simplenews in general.

Setting this issue to by design.
