Thats the meaning of the warnings.
Yes, I understand 'the meaning of the warnings', and the reasons they might be used at other sites. What I don’t understand, however, is the reason some authors choose to leave them/use them in the headers of their stories at this site. I just think it's so ridiculously superfluous, totally unnecessary, completely irrelevant, most uncalled for… and it bugs me.
