Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
I added a stern item (#6). link

I need a new tagline.. submissions are accepted.
I really like 1b and 6. (just had to chime in, they all look good)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have a question: are we looking for something to go with any official admin post, or just the official warning? Because if it's the first, I like the stamp, just without the word "warning."

Still like four best, but I like six too. The stamp - for some reason it looks more to me like a 'seal of approval' stamp than a 'stop that right now.' I know that in context it'll be clear, but the image itself isn't, I don't know, threatening enough for me.

I just realized that the word "warning" is unclear since the image would be used for all three steps of Warning/Suspension/Banning. I still like 2a but how about replacing "Official Stompy Warning" with "Official Stompy Action"?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
So far it looks like just for the warning, Jesse. Regularly stompy posts happen (or can happen) under the admin id, so there's some attention-getting just by that fact, I presume.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
All we're really looking for is a simple way to let the person getting the warning know that it's official, and the person issuing it has the authority to do it.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I like the idea of 6, but I'm not sure about the "this is a final warning" text. I'd think that that would be in the text of the post. Maybe something like that, but without that text, for a warning, and then similar things that said "Suspension" and "Banning" in the Buffy font for those. (Are suspensions and bannings reported in-thread like that? I can't remember what was decided there.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
2c looks effective to me, with the official looking stompy stamp and "Warning" very clearly and separately stated in distinctive font.
