What if for official warnings, the recipient had a button labeled “Acknowledge” or similar to click that inserted a “action post”:

A simple step for the user, but it has social contract implications. It’s like you’re saying “okay, I get it, I won’t do it again”.

Probably on top of the topic action buttons.
