Excellent idea!  Probably no way to enforce it, but still worth mentioning
as it is important to discourage this by default.
So if someone posts something about something they built,
but didn't ask for comments, and then I email them to
ask how they built it, that would be a violation of the Terms,
or even a crime?  That doesn't sound appropriate to me.

No, I think the key phrase here is "unsolicited COMMERCIAL e-mail".
