I favor Dalton's idea.

reasonable for a vandal to go through the whole warning system and get

I think 10 edits (and the 4 days that there is now) is a good amount
Would it be possible to unconfirm people when they get blocked
(possibly as an extra option for admins on the block page)? So they
have to go another 4 days and 10 edits. It would mean that blocking
someone for 24 hows stops them editing semi-protected pages for 4
days, which would be useful - far better to let someone do basic
editing after a short time, and more damaging editing after a longer
time.
(I seem to remember than the 4 days thing is actually done as a you
mustn't be in the most recent 1% of signups, or something, which would
make resetting that part a little more effort on the part of the
devs...)
