The same rules apply for Private Messages as they do in the main chat. You can't spam, cuss, or reveal personal information in them. I don't think a chatmod ever allowed spamming in Private Messages. If that were true, it would mean the chatmods could possibly take no action against a user who attacked a user by PM.

The 5-line limit is a good thing for the chat. It prevents random spammers from causing a bigger disruption to the chat. Limiting spamming in PM could also be considered a good thing, as it reduces personal spam attacks.

This is just my opinion, and I may discuss this further with other chatmods and admins.
