I can easily imagine users on that path asking themselves, "well, if this is so dangerous, what is the best thing for me to do?
Well if users ask about what is the best thing they could do, can't they scroll a few lines under the warning message, where it covers everything?
That's what warnings were meant to be for, but I'm pretty 100% sure the innocent yet obligatory warning message has nothing to do with such posts, the main reason is LAZINESS. People just cannot expect being spoon-fed at each step.

It would be a different issue however, if the user is asking about an issue that was not covered in the WIKI/FAQ, or that was covered deep in this thread which has grown significantly. I would actually love answering that.
