User blog comment:BF10/Should there be reminder, warning, and block templates?/@comment-4189499-20140809110544

Templates are good, personalised message is better. Also, it's harder to abuse if people use personal messages, and by the looks of it it won't save much typing for the warner. Also, there is no way to restrict templates to only admin use, as would be needed in this situation. However, sometimes highly visual templates have a greater impact than words alone and would therefore make a greater impact on a user's behaviour. So there are benefits of both sides of the argument.
