Only in shitty teams without discipline and only if warnings are not tracked in some other way.

The way to impose discipline effectively is to have automated checks.

Like -Werror, and additional "lint"-style checks to make sure that coding guidelnes are followed.

Non-shitty teams automate as much of the flow as possible, to catch mistakes early and help the human reviewers catch everything.

Most companies have such teams, fortunate of those that never experienced such employers.
