Yeah, so this is how the warning system goes:
if you break a rule, you get a warning. If you are a mod in any of the forums, your mod powers are disabled for the short time you have the warning. If you have a warning, it will be shown on all of your posts while you have it. You get four warnings. On your fifth warning your account will be banned. Here are the warnings and what effects they have:
First Warning: disables mod powers. If you do not break rules seven days after the warning, it will be removed.
Second Warning: Disables mod powers. If you do not break rules 15 days after the warning, it will be removed.
Third Warning: Disables mod powers and bans account for 5 days. If you do not break rules 20 days after the end of the ban, it will be removed.
Fourth Warning: Disables mod powers and bans account for 15 days. If you do not breat rules 25 days after teh end of the ban, it will be removed.
Fifth Warning: Pernament Ban on Account.

Some offences are worse than others. If your post is a major offence, and you have no warnings, you may get an instant second or third warning. You will never be immediately perma-banned, but you can get a fourth warning right away if it is a really, really major offence.
