It's SSL warnings, they have to be shown to whoever is connecting, half the point is the system shouldn't have to know if the connecter is a user or an admin or whateverelse. Of course, the real solution is still to solve the SSL issues behind the warning.

The comparison here is Discord, for which neither the people running a channel or its users have problems like that.

If Discord Inc ever forgot to update their certs, you can be damn sure we'd like to not have the warnings hidden from us. The only difference is here that status is not under control of running a channel / making community, so one could argue that's actually worse.
