I agree with "Remember" or "Remember to follow" in place of "Check out" — people should already have checked it out and just need reminding to follow it. The URL allows them to check it out if it is new(s) to them.

I agree with the first two, not necessarily the third. Can't see why it should make a difference for moderators handling flags.

@Randal'Thor handling the flag should be the same either way, but when there are patterns, like when somebody manages to hit the too-many-rude-comments alert, it feels like it would be helpful to know if he also ignored the in-your-face guidance. I can see it affecting the mod message I send.

Why should rudeness to new users prompt a stronger reaction? As an established user, I wouldn't want rudeness towards me to be ignored or handled less seriously than towards new people just because they're new.
