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.

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.

oooh 6b, choose 6b.
I still see "endorsement" with the round stamps, even with the warning wording.
6b is very clear, non-silly, STOP NOW.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We should probably get to a poll/vote, with a "no preference" and "none of the above" option.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm preferring 1a and 6b.
