Bit harsh, you have to consider that this is so widely used, an innocent person could not think it is against the rules.
I think its already fine...if you pm almost any moderator they will warn them if they do it after a verbal.
The problem is, you're never going to get the same set of TM's working the Trading Grounds each night, people will vary with RL commitments, etc. You can have a user get five verbals through the course of a week and never get punished.
I think a warn for the first time is way too harsh, but in the extreme cases, you do need it. I really wish I could find the post that I got myself in one of my threads, when I followed the link, it was something like:
Post #1
Early Bump
Early Bump
Free Bump
Bump4Bump
Free Bump
Early Bump
Bump4Bump
Early Bump
1 FG offer
Or something stupid like that. Those are ones that need to be acted on, especially when the user goes to any thread and makes a post every 30 seconds for that kind of stuff. At the very least, however, closing the thread that they wanted bumped should be done. I advocate this as a new Report Post option.
