Yes. Direct Messages (private conversations) and Profile Posts (messages posted on your profile page) are subject to the forum rules. Reporting them is similar to reporting forum posts. The reports are handled the same way by the moderators.
If you receive a Direct Message or Profile Post that breaks forum rules (e.g., ads, insults, harassment), click the Report icon under the message and explain the reason you are reporting it.
Everyone can read your Profile Posts, but the moderators cannot read Direct Messages unless you report them. When you report a Direct Message, a copy of the message is forwarded to the moderators along with your description of the problem, so they can check it against the forum rules.
It's against the rules to send unwelcome and unwanted messages to other users, but of course you can't always tell in advance if a message will be welcomed by another user. Use common sense, and the moderators will too.
