Strongly oppose. Admins should use discretion in not blocking unwarned
users, but they shouldn't be prevented from doing so. 3RR is already
subject to gaming, and it only works because it's so strict. Giving
more escape clauses is a bad idea.

I also strongly oppose. There is already protection for new users who
may be unaware of the rules; most Admins already try to avoid BITE-ing
newcomers. This would open the door to even more abuse than we have
currently; IMHO the goal is correctly to reduce edit warring, not
increase wiki-lawyering.
