*Fake Warnings. Issuing a {{tem|reminder}}, {{tem|warning}}, or any other official notice template to someone as a joke is considered an abuse of warning privileges and can get you in ''actual'' trouble. As mentioned above, even customizing the template coding into a clearly bogus warning is not allowed: it's too much of a distraction, and there is no good reason to do it. Don't give yourself fake warnings either. | *Fake Warnings.
