Or quoting any PM?
If you'd care to actually read the rules, which are locked away and hidden underneath that link at the top labelled "Rules", you will see that there's nothing specific preventing you from posting private messages. However, you will be well advised to bear the following points in mind.
Firstly, the exchanges are intended to be private. Hence the clue in the name. You should check via PM with the other person involved whether they consent to having their messages published.
You should also be very sure that messages sent by staff to you were actually sent as part of their official capacity as members of staff and not simply as members of the forum. Failing to make this distinction clear will attract staff attention.
I refer you to Rule 14: Quoting others accurately. This is a straightforward thing to check when you're quoting a thread post and it doesn't require a member of staff to do it. Quoting from PM, however, is a different animal and will definitely attract the attention of staff. Be damn sure that what you intend to do is exactly what you think it is.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
