PSA: Don't speak or use emotes in the presence of a toxic clique.

[Gongoosus]

Honestly sounds like a caution strike is SE just saying "hey, cool it" but it's got some of that scary corporate / official protocol speak written across it lol. Not that I was there or anything but just imagining it, would probably feel scary no matter what to get called into the office even though in the principle's view (GM's) all they wanted to say is "eeeh.. careful now".

Sure, but their version of a "hey, cool it." is now attached to my account as a 1 out of 5 strike.

I think a little more context is necessary. Did you just do one or two emotes or did you spam the chat logs? If the former then I definitely think the situation is unwarranted, if the latter I can kinda see why the GM stepped in even if I don't agree with it.

It was myself and three other people talking, emoting and using abilities at each other in a public area over the course of about an hour, so yes the chat was taken up during a period of otherwise complete silence early in the afternoon aside from the occasional gil-selling bot- which I don't think anyone can reasonably say is an abuse of chat.
