Which strikes me as another reason that mega-threads are bad.
The Trump election thread had 7000+ posts when it was shut down this week. Does that mean that if someone misses a mod warning from July can be dinged for failing to follow the mod note if they posted something in late September ?
Yes, that’s where the system break down. I understand the mods will be lenient, but still…

Most mods are human…
There is a reason why we keep Miller in The Pit but it’s not polite to point.

It won’t solve the problem (have you tried it?) so instead you leave instructions where people are even less likely to see them? You could also modify the title.
You have several solutions but seem unwilling to try them. Addressing specific posters is one matter, but implementing narrow, single-thread rules for all posters mid-thread is poor policy and asking for noncompliance, especially when we don’t have a functioning “go to first new post” feature. Is your goal better thread quality? Well you have options to facilitate that.
I don’t think it’s a frequent enough problem that it requires a major policy shift. As has been said, we take into account the fact that a note may have been issued some time back.

You didn’t need all those fingers!
You have twenty seconds to comply.

You now have ten seconds to comply.
You can whisper it to us, he’s not on right now so he’ll never know.
