Yes, they can be.
Tip members (and supervisors for that matter) are not above the guidelines or ToU. They can still be warned and blocked for violations.
If you are a TIP member, please inform us if you have a warning, it's not uncommon for Supervisors to be mistaken.
If you are a supervisor, please let TIP know if a TIP member has been warned, as it will need to be recorded and taken into account upon their graduation.

I am a TIP member but a Supervisor has warned me what can I do?
TIP Members are not supervisors nor above the rules of the site. You are still a regular contributor until you graduate from the program, therefore you are still eligible to receive warnings from Supervisors. If you disagree with or do not understand the warning, contact the Supervisor and ask for more information. Remember to be polite. If you are warned, please let your TIP Supervisor know right away, rather than having them find out themselves. If you disagree with the communication between you and the Supervisor who warned you, get in touch with your TIP Supervisor. Always be polite to other Supervisors, since communication is a very important part of being one yourself.

Is obscene wording on profiles allowed?
No it is not. You will get warned by a Supervisor to take your obscene wordings off or it will be taken off for you.
How come I didn't get a warning message?
I checked, you are not a member, therefore you can not be warned.
Can you get threatened by a supervisor?
You can get warned by a supervisor. You should not be threatened with anything beyond the loss of privileges to participate. If it involves more than that, then take it up with a Community Assistant. They don't have the right to threaten you with offline actions or bodily harm
Can a supervisor warn himself or herself?
Supervisors cannot be warned through the standard warning mechanism on the site. They are required to follow rules of conduct and will be advised if they violate them.
What can a Supervisor do if they gave an official warning to the wrong user?
At present, there is no option for removing or resetting the warning status of a user. However, usually a message board apology to the user concerned - and deletion of the warning from the user's message board - is sufficient by way of an apology. The correct user should then be warned. Another option is to leave the warning, but to add a note explaining that the user has been warned in error. This way, if another supervisor wants to check why the user was warned, they will at least see the explanation and apology. If the warned user is unsatisfied with the apology and/or deletion, advising the user to contact the Community Advisor would be appropriate.
Why does it seem that Answers.com chooses hypocrites as the Supervisors?
Every supervisor earnestly tries to be even-handed in all-things, but naturally as all people are human, they are bound to make mistakes. If you seriously believe that you have been mistreated by a Supervisor, message that Supervisor. If they refuse to discuss the situation with you, talk to a Senior Supervisor. However, it is more likely than not that a Supervisor has warned you about certain conduct which is in violation of the Guidelines, but which you believe is no big deal. Then the Supervisor takes adverse action against you and you feel that you have been wronged even though they had previously threatened adverse action. This does not make the Supervisor a hypocrite.
Do you get messages on WikiAnswers saying that you're writing nonsense?
Not personally, but you could be reprimanded by a Supervisor, or warned and blocked. They do not take spam, bullying and nonsense lightly as it wastes people's time.
What armor should you use in RuneScape?

What happens when a supervisor violates the rules on Answers.com?
We the Supervisors must follow a set of guidelines as well as the community guidelines, and forum guidelines. If we break a rule (abuse, vandalism, cyber-bullying etc.), we are sent under the Supervisor Code of Conduct Corrective Action. This is a actions taken by a Community Assistant in hopes that we the Supervisors obey the rules again, and can continue using our powers for what they should be used for. When they're warned for the first time, he or she will be sent a friendly warning with an explanation of what he or she has done wrong. If he or she is warned for a second time, he or she will receive a formal warning or temporary suspension of Super Powers or temporary suspension from the site. And last but not least, if he or she is warned for a third time, he or she will receive a temporary suspension of Super Powers or termination of Supervisor status or permanent suspension from the site.
