Sometimes there may be a problem that you need to make new users aware of so they don't walk right into it. Maybe something like a '[WARNING!] prefix?'

Or even experienced users might need to know something that they would otherwise figure out the hard way - the EXTREMELY hard way.

I think the use case is rare enough that you can just type it into the title, kinda like you just did. ;)

I think this is a really good idea actually. It would solve the problem of posting rm commands and obfuscated commands. I can also however see how time consuming for the staff this could be to implement. So in short I would support ths request.

I would think removing the posts with rm commands would be a better option than adding a warning tag.

I don't think you understand. They're trying to warn everyone about harmful commands, so they can be safe and also be able to report it when it's used.

They're not allowed.

There is nothing wrong with the rm command, the problem is that some of the posters that give examples, don't explain, or don't know themselves what the command with included options can do.
