During the flagging mission in The Initiates Program can I warn contributors for their bad answers?

No.
TIP members do not have supervisor powers or tools. In order to warn somebody, you need a tool that only Supervisors have access to.
"Warning" a contributor while you are not a supervisor is a violation of the Answers ToU notice on impersonation and may result in your membership to TIP being terminated. If you come across a vandal who you feel should be dealt with officially, let your TIP Supervisor know.

What is the difference between flagging and removing an answer on Wikianswers?
Flagging an answer does not remove it, but brings it to the attention of the rest of the community. Answers that are SPAM and/or Vandalism should be reported via the red "Report Abuse" button on any question.
How does Answers.com get its answers?
From contributors around the world who share their knowledge.
Why am I no longer a member of The Initiates Program after I was inactive?
The TIP staff will occasionally prune the membership list to suspend any inactive members. Inactivity is defined as not actively contributing to the website or to the program. We need to do this so we can keep the program up to date and organised. Inactive members clog up the program's membership database, which makes it a chore for the TIP Supervisors to have to work through. It also helps us to identify any contributors who are still actively interested in becoming a Supervisor on Answers. TIP members who were suspended due to inactivity are welcome to re-apply when they feel they would like to return.
