Which is why we’re slow to give warnings. I only moderate one breaking news thread, The [Russia invades Ukraine {2022-02-24} (Part 2)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/russia-invades-ukraine-2022-02-24-part-2/973972/3459). I’ve only warned one poster in that thread, while modnoting often and banning a total of 3 posters from the thread. The warning was for ignoring moderator instructions. That will get you a warning pretty much most of the time.

BTW: No warnings in the first thread.
