You have been warned. Usage?
Teachers, another present perfect question. Would anyone explain to me the use of this pp sentece?
You've been warned. I think it might be the life experience, or the present result, like " You've been warned (= so you know about it now.)". Thank you!

Yes, I think "so you know about it now" is about right. Compare: "I've hurt my back" (and it's hurting now) "I've lost my keys" (and I don't have them now) etc.
