As far as I know, Drew meant it how he said it. There is no difference between asking someone to stop, and saying "warning 1"— both have the same consequence: that if not complied with, they will result in a kick. Plus, users are less intimidated by being asked to stop, as opposed to a warning. They sometimes think a "warning" is a mar on their record; but being asked to stop? Well, they usually just stop. In my experience, it is a lot easier that way.
