Warning points for a PM????

I noticed that Dthomas gave a person ( robms007 ) warning points for a private message that he made to another member in a PM. I thought that if you had something to say to someone that wasnt very nice you should do it in a PM so the public wont see it. Is there a policy concerning the content of PM's here? should he have put his comment in the hell forum instead??? just curious so that i know what the rules are as well.below is the PM he sent the other user, which was then brought into a public forum.

Get a ****ing life loser.You need to watch who you screw with.

Yes, warning points are assessed for abusive private messages when they are brought to our attention. Also using email via the mail server of this program in an abusive manner (when brought to our attention by the recipient) will also get you warning points. We do not, and can not, monitor those messages ourselves, but when recipients bring them to our attention via forwarded copies, then we are very likely to act on them.

Email you send via your own mail service outside of FaunaClassifieds, of course, is your own business.

The reason for this policy is that you are USING FaunaClassifieds in an abusive manner. You are using these facilities and utilities in an abusive manner and the warnings are just that: Warnings that unless you cease in this sort of activity, we will have to take stronger measures in order to STOP you from doing it.

I hope this explains the policy sufficiently for you.

thank you for the reply and the explanation. If i diont ask the questions i will never know the answers.
