WP:3RR was changed (without there first being consensus) back in April so that reverts count towards the 3RR even if they are unrelated. This has resulted in some editors playing "gotcha" by invoking the 3RR without first giving a warning.
I'd like to propose the following exception to the 3RR policy:
Exception:
Lack of warning
A 3RR ban cannot be imposed against an editor who has not been warned that he or she is in danger of violating the 3RR. A ban can only be imposed when an editor violates the 3RR after receiving a warning even if he or she has already tecnically violated the 3RR prior to receiving a warning.
There is no exception to the "three revert rule". If you are reverting more than *once* in twenty-four hours, I suggest that you aren't editing very well. Rather than seek exceptions, let us simply resolved to avoid edit warring.
