* Private communications of any sort, including but not limited to PMs, emails and letters, may not be posted or quoted publicly without the written consent of the author(s) of all material being quoted. (Includes within Coffee Lounge.) A communication is private if its author has, or may reasonably have, an expectation of confidentiality. Exceptions include tournament announcements, newsletters and some other materials with a wide circulation that are clearly not in confidence. Internal proceedings of chess organisations and businesses are in confidence unless stated otherwise no matter how many recipients there are.
The onus is strongly on the poster of a communication to ensure that its posting is permitted prior to doing so, if necessary by asking a moderator.
