1)
Is there a way to allow users to sign-up without filling in an email address?
Even if 'email authentification' is disabled, the email field is still required during sign-up.

For a school website, I need the email address to be completely optional - some older
children will use it, some will choose not to, and younger children won't use it at all.

2)
Also, to help prevent cyber-bullying and silly jokes, any emails entered should only be
available for the admin to use to administrate the site.

Thanks.

1)
http://drupal.org/project/localemail looks like it could solve the problem.

2)
I didn't notice that there is a 'profiles' section in the permissions page.
It can be done from there.

I need to look for an 'internal Personal messaging system' though, so
I can contact the pupils through the website if necessary. This would
also be good for the children to use because unlike email, it is private
and the sender cannot be anonymous.

However, the two PM projects listed look kind-of dead from a v6.x perspective,
so any other ideas are welcome.

Cheers.
