Note
One spelling does two jobs here, and the auxiliary tells you which. With have it forms the perfect (they have ignored the warnings). With be it forms the passive (the warnings were ignored), which works because ignore always takes an object. Older English also used it for simply not knowing or failing to notice something. Today it implies the neglect was deliberate or pretended.
