Locking a whole thread would be like penalizing everyone because of the
misdeeds by a single person. I don't think that would be a good thing to
do.
In principle, I am not particularly opposed to Matt's three strikes
policy. However, as an admin, I don't want to carry the burden of having
to enforce such a policy (ie., counting strikes). If somebody else takes
care of it, that's fine with me.
I still think that automatically blocking an account, while harsh, is
the most effective warning. I do agree that a warning along the lines of
"Posting links to warez will automatically qualify your account for
being blocked" prominently displayed in the comment form would be a good
and fair thing to have; I could add that if you want.
