There's a difference between "nastygrams" and blocking ports.  Some time 
ago, I read in their FAQs or other online info that while users are 
prohibited from running such services, they only enforce if it becomes a 
problem.  So, if you had a server that you use only for personal 
purposes, it's not an issue.  However, if your server is widely used by 
others, then they'll remind you that you're violating the TOS.  They 
have to include those prohibitions listed, even if they only want to go 
after the abusers.  Their concern is overuse of shared bandwidth, not 
what you're doing.
