It would be even better to modify one's monobook.js to add usual block messages. It's possible to add buttons with usual delete messages on Your_page&action=delete pages, so I think it's possible to add some buttons on [[Special:Blockip/Your_vandal]].
Thus, you could add buttons which enter usual messages in plain language, even with a wiki link to [[WP:3RR]] for example, just by clicking.

Hi, I note in the previous message that the user was given the block message "3rr, evasion with sock" - I wonder, how could any new user possibly understand what that means? Wouldn't it be better to use plain language, even if it does mean taking slightly longer to block? In this case "Repeatedly undoing other people's changes to an article, using alternate accounts to get around having their account blocked".
