A warning is not required but if the user appears unaware that edit warring is prohibited they can be told about this policy by posting a template message on their user talk page Though admin Looie496 acknowledged Xenophrenic was edit warring and guilty of a 3RR violation he let him off because supposedly he was not warned Not only were 3 warnings issue but the warnings were ACKNOWLEDGED by Xenophrenic Meanwhile I m still quite sure I DID NOT revert the same thing 4 times and I DID NOT get any warnings but I got nailed with a 48 hour block How is there such a whopping double standard I m BEGGING someone PLEASE just look at the facts
