(12:29:27 AM) emanuele: isn't it silly?
(12:29:42 AM) TehCraw: That is weird. :|
(12:30:07 AM) TehCraw: You'd think that admins would be immune to that kinda thing.
(12:30:31 AM) emanuele: it's nice, because you see the "muted" next to your name, but you can still post as usual.

I warned admins, and I didn't think of it as a bug... But I didn't consider the rest of the behavior tbh, only the warning itself, sent and received. You're right it becomes strange, but what is the right behavior? An admin (I think) should expect to still have the option to "warn" another admin.
How should it go from there? A notice that "hey, you want to mute this guy but he's admin so this won't have any effect"?
But what's the point in warning someone even if that doesn't give any practical benefit?
A sort of memo?
Then no need to give points, just put the note of the warning with the reason.
I think.

Yes, points are meaningless. :)
