I think there's a difference between protecting a page in which one is
involved in an edit war and implementing a tempban when there is a clear
violation of something as basic as the 3RR rule. The former is subjective,
the latter is not and the effectiveness of the latter is diminished if there
is a long lag time between the violation and the implementation of the
tempban. 

However, for purposes of transparency and accountability I think it would be
a good idea to create a version of  Wikipedia:Requests_for_page_protection
for 3RR tempbans eg Wikipedia:Reqeusts_for_tempbans
