If you're not sure if what you want to say could be considered a punishable offense, think of it this way;
Is it...
There's no reason you can't say something useful without being rude. If you can't, then it's not actually necessary and you don't need to say it. When you're rude about it you're more likely to get a counter-productive response. Being passive-aggressive is the same; The system might have a harder time discerning what you are doing, but the other players are well aware that you're trying to piss them off and it won't be judged any differently than a direct insult.
With your example of "Wake the fuck up", it's both negative and unnecessary. While cursing itself isn't a big issue, it is when you direct it at other players in a hostile manner. Without that, "Wake up" is still not a good way to approach it. If they keep getting ganked, for example, inform them of the pattern and advise a strategy to counter it (such as warding further up the river) instead.
Simply telling people to "wake the fuck up" by itself won't get you punished, but if you act in such a manner consistently and are reported for it, they may add up to eventually result in one. If your allies are adverse to being given friendly advice just stop giving it to them; you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink. Mute them if they are being abusive and just fall back to using pings only.
