Handwritten, always. The warning templates are almost uniformly based around the assumption that a warning is a punishment, rather than an attempt to get someone to change their behavior.
My comment was actually aimed sarcastically... (Or is this forbidden as an act of gross incivility in itself?) My complaint was both with the pervading use of templates and the impression that "warnings" need to be given, rather than "requests".
Thinking about it as a warning will make it seem a punishment.
