"...target dialect?"

Using "inappropriate" is just as "lax" as my use of "warning". A user cannot be "inappropriate". Might I suggest "offending" i.e. "the offending user will be removed".
On the main topic: In my opinion the other suggestions fail to answer the question "What would a native English speaker have written directly into English?" (BTW, I have the greatest respect for the persons who made the suggestions...) It is quite true that the Finnish literally uses a word that our dictionaries tell us corresponds to "request"--actually, "kehotus s 1 (varoitus) admonition ■ s 2 suggestion, encouragement, request, advice 3 call, behest, exhortation"--but those dictionary entries are just a starting point for the creation of a new text. Most clients couldn't care less what our dictionaries say. They just want their website/document/etc to convey the intended message in fluent language. This always means making choices that offend the literalness that we all gravitate towards, but which is based on a misapprehension of translation as conversion rather than re-creation.

But we lack critical contextual information: Who is the client? What will the text be used for? What is the targe

They refer to totally different situations. A warning is issued as a response to something someone already did, usually in form of a warning text or action by someone. Request is more passive and issued in advance, perhaps in form of a set of rules or good practice or similar. If the player does not follow those, he may well be removed, if the rules so dictate. Warnings may or may not be issued, at that, but the sentence here is not about them.
Also, you simply cannot translate "kehoittaa" as "warn", because kehoittaa in a way is the opposite of warning! It could be translated as urging, yes, except not here. You warn someone NOT to do something, while you request or urge him exactly to DO something.
"Asiaton" would be "inappropriate" in English, referring to behaviour. I see no reason why one should leave it out. Thanks!
