While I know that OOTP can't afford to lose customers, I hope that the "warnable offense" is used sparingly and that the circumstances are examined closely before using such a tool. I'd hate to lose a valuable vet that I can learn from just because another noob decided to come to the forum with a chip on his shoulder.

Good thoughts. Most warnings are handed out rather sparringly so I'd assume the same here. Interestingly, it has been other forum vets not new folks reporting this kind of behavior in spades of late that promtped this. That fits well with your experience, most 'vets' looking out for and being patient with new comers as it should be.
