Here’s a similar [post=9782781]example[/post] of the behavior “in the wild”. Worthy of a warning? Does it merit being told to take it to the pit? Could it be construed as junior modding?

Obviously not, on all three counts. It’s merely one poster commenting on the phrasing another poster used. In this example it’s couched as a question, but it’s not hard to get a definitive point across in the form of a question. (And that’s exactly what I think **Frylock** was doing with his question.)
