Am - thanks, I've corrected.

Sorry, I wasn't drafting an official warning, I was drafting the notice, the kind that doesn't go down on the record, askye. I thought we had a draft for the warning.

I agree with Laura that mine needs to be chopped, and although I like bringing the fun in, Lyra's suggestion that it be more straight forward is an important one.

I prefer clever wording. But it is an offical warning and on your permanent record.

Like I said, I wasn't doing an official permanent record type warning. I got confused as to what people were discussing.

(I may have skimmed)

Honestly, if I recieved Cindy's warning, I would have no clue what it meant.

I'm deleting it now, because, again it wasn't a draft of a warning.

We have a system that says misbehavers get a warning letter from the stompies. If we wanted to change the system so that we would no longer have a warning, that would require a vote.

No, actually, it wouldn't. The voting ballot (initiating voting) specifically left out that sort of thing as non-voting items.

What ita and Ple were saying is that there is no standarized wording for a warning at all.

At least that's how I understood it.

What I sent Zoe wasn't a warning. Some of the delay in my sending it was because I didn't know what to write. I made some stuff up, but really, I thought that was what Cindy was composing. Since her text said nothing about the meaning of the warning, and that another warning would result in suspension.

Thanks ita, that is what I was doing.

What ita and Ple were saying is that there is no standarized wording for a warning at all.

Basically. Boilerplate warning text, she would be helpful. ita hasn't the bandwidth, I suck at drafting such things, and I don't know about the rest of the stompies, but there is probably a combo pack of the above.

I don't think it has to be, or even should be clever (though the clever ones were lovely), because it needs to be clear, concise, and serious over anything else.
