My university has been very loose with exam rules, allowing students to leave for extended unmonitored periods of time to return to the exam. I asked about this to the course director and have had no response. I'm worried they will try to 'shut me up' by causing me some problems or something. Should I just forget it or what can I do?

Universities are governed by a similar body to Ofsted for schools. I can't remember the name of it, but a little Internet research should help. If you are really concerned then maybe you could report it to a body such as that?

As long as it doesn't affect your scores should you really worry? If however you do believe your uni is doing something very wrong you should probably ask other students what they feel about it, take it to a union rep or something similar. Also are you sure these people are leaving exams unmonitored? There are some people who have to have breaks during exams for medical reasons, it'd be worth checking it out just incase you are overreacting.

Go to student support services, there usually assign you with a member of staff to act as you "advocate" in any situation you wish to discuss. They will then represent you and your caims against the "Universities loose rules", it may not be the Uni directly yet the staff supposedly trained to monitor exams...so all this will be sorted out and they will proceed any complaints further.

Speak with your dean, course convener or head of department. It isn't fair if others have been able to cheat on their exams whilst you have been honest.
If you get no joy, go above the dean to the Pro-Vice or Vice Chancellor. They won't (or shouldn't) be tolerant of this at all; it reduces the credibility of their degrees and their university as a whole.

worry about yourself or get evidence and bring it to the dean
