After a series of incidents this week, please take a second to read the site policy on premium info one more time...

Thus, anything which is posted on a premium message board or "chat", even if it originates from a poster and not a paid staff member, is "paid" information, and we do not allow any such information to be re-posted over here. It is our belief (and policy) that premium message posts are not "news" (see below) because they contain either "opinion", or facts which are not intended for general release (i.e., "proprietary information").
Premium article summaries are different from message board posts in that a brief review of an article constitutes the publication of "news" - because no one owns the news, it can be reposted here, or anywhere. However, we do not allow quotes from premium articles, or summaries of the author's opinions, as such items go beyond "news" and become "proprietary information", which of course is owned by the publisher (BN, BSB, etc.).
We trust that all of you understand this policy, and can abide by it. Of course, the mods and admins will be vigilant in deleting "proprietary" material, but those posters who repeatedly "poach" premium information from any other site will be warned and/or banned.
