I don't know much about defamation. But I would have thought that, if defamatory material were posted in the Coffee Lounge, then it would have to be either substantiated with evidence or removed by the mods. The Coffee Lounge is still a public place, even if there are some restrictions on entry (just like a nightclub might have retrictions on entry to "members only" but I can't go into that club and say defamatory things about someone, as it is still a public place regardless).
