I'm going to be dead honest here...

No matter what we tell people in the Admin panel...
They'll screw it up anyways.

We could put
"Don't stick jellybeans up your noses!"
 and I tell you...we'll have a million support threads saying
"So, how do I remove this jellybean from my nose now?

Well, I mean..it really can't hurt to put the message up there...

But I just don't think it'll do much.
I don't even think I read that message when I made my first forum.

Yes but than you have inpatient people(like me) who want to get to work on the forum...and it be a big turnoff to be like...

"Yay! I made a free forum...no viruses...or junk like that! Finally a good service.

Computer screen...
'redirecting you to our message'

What a message' where's my forum?!
Ripoff!
How do I get to my forums?"
And after a while of yelling they finally notice the take me to my forum button. Sigh.

Now it just sounds like we're creating a bigger pain in the butt than we need to make.

Right now, there isn't that big a problem with people setting bad people to their admins. Usually they learn pretty quickly.

And again, I say from experience, people aren't as impressionable as you think. You could tell them that we'll kill a kitten if they create too many random admins and they'll forget and end up doing wrong anyways.

I could use more analogies..but I'm all out.
Writing an English essay, I have metaphors, similes and analogies coming from everywhere.

You might as well give up on the topic, people don't read (look at all the same questions that get asked over and over again) and they think we are being downers when we try to warn them about some of the dangers.  I can just hear them thinking "what does she know, she's a grown up.  She doesn't know anything about kids/teens/young adults".
