3RR should be expanded to {4,5}RR for first-time offenders who haven't been notified of its existence, for the sake of courtesy and not biting the newbies.
I would suggest that instead, the rule is kept as is, but first-time violators are not blocked, but instead *strongly* warned. "You would normally be blocked for this. Take a good read of [[WP:3RR]] and don't ever do it again."
