Arbitration case discretionary sanctions warnings

For your future information, these are only valid if made by 'uninvolved administrators.

Your warning / notification to Johnrv4 failed both those clauses...

You are incorrect. Misplaced Pages:Arbitration_Committee/Discretionary_sanctions#For_administrators: "A warning need not be issued by an administrator;" Second Quantization (talk) 10:00, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

It must be issued by an uninvolved party, which you are not, and if not issued by an uninvolved administrator is not fully enforceable, and if not issued by an uninvolved administrator you are REQUIRED to use the following template modification per the template instructions, which you failed to do:

If you use this notice and you are not an "uninvolved administrator", you must include the parameter |admin=no in the template, so that the sentence "This notice is given by an uninvolved administrator and will be..." is adapted accordingly.

This is to prevent random users using these as clubs against one another.

Using them as clubs usually leads to sanctions.

The preferred procedure is asking on WP:AE for a warning to be issued. Or asking any uninvolved admin elsewhere to review snd warn if justified.
