Actually, that's not really a "rule"...even an unofficial one.
One 'unofficial rule' I've heard, is the one that suggests you should pick up...after "double par."
Which is still better than those having a blowup hole and refusing to put the ball in their pocket...regardless of how many strokes they've already taken. 
Even if a person doesn't keep a GHIN index, I personally would just be happy to see them estimate what their course handicap would be...and then follow the Equitable Stroke Control (ESC) guidelines.

Course Handicap..... Maximum Score
0-9..... Double Bogey
10-19..... 7
20-29..... 8
30-39..... 9
40 or more 10

Since getting a GHIN number isn't all that expensive (+-$30 a year?), I suggest everyone should get one so that they can see how their game is progressing...or in my case, regressing.
