I don't mind if it uses the exact same warning types. Well, either way is fine really. The non-post-related warnings we use are "siggie violation" "avatar violation" or "PM spam" - so we can isolate these out of the other warning types if that is easier.

As for where to place it, the logical places seem to me to be ..
.. a) from the user profile (same concept aas the link called "user options" that takes you to the admin cp
.. b) from the admin cp directly (either while editing a user or as a part of the warn system, like a new point called "warn a member" or something.
.. c) from the drop-down when you click in a member's name from inside a thread (along with "view __'s profile, view __'s home page, send __ a private message" etc.
.. d) as an option within the postbit mini-profile square thinigie that shows up beside (or above - depending on if you use legacy or not) each post.

SnitchSeeker,

I am working on this non-post-related warning thing (which is quite interesting) and there is an issue here. In the way I do it, there will be a link inside the user profile, which will allow you to warn him. However, since this is not related to the offensive item (PM or whatever), there is no way I can show the user, for which item he was warned. So the moderator who issues such a warning, should make sure that in the Comments field, enters the appropriate information, i.e. "Your PM send to user XYZ on October 25th 2004 was offensive".

Also, I made the same mistake again, started doing changes without documenting them very well, so you may act as my guinea pig for this thing. Is that OK with you? The file changes are not too many, but I haven't documented all the template changes I did. Oh well, I'll see what's the best I can come up with.
