Two different sides to this in my opinion.
Rules/Legal side of things:
The staff have said time after time after time NOT to post in threads that have the [Question] tag on them. And yet people continued to do so, so they said if you do post in one of those threads, you'll be warned. Guess what? It happened. They've got every right to enforce the rules, as that is one of their jobs as staff. They don't want members who know nothing to post an incorrect answer, and spark some pointless debate that should have been avoided in the first place.
My Opinion:
Absolute bullshit to warn someone for trying to help. I understand part of your reasoning behind it, but if someone gets outright BANNED for just trying to lend a hand, especially if they were right, you'd likely hear me raising hell and breaking my no warning streak. People will say the wrong answer from time to time, but all the staff have to do in that event is do what they would have done normally: Step in, answer the question, and end it there.
That's all I think I really needed to say about this...
