For minor offenses warnings should be given out the first time.  Users who have been warned will certainly see the warning when they get a notice that they have new messages. A short block may be overlooked if the user did not try to edit during the block period.  If an offense is repeated after a warning administrators can assume the user knew his/her behavour was unacceptable.
