From what I've seen and experienced myself, when trying to talk nicely to people who break the rules, more often than not the spammers start getting angry, and begin insulting anyone who tries to help them. Blocking straight away also prevents them from causing more damage.

Most spammers and vandals are only here to cause damage, and find it funny. They don't care, and aren't trying to help the wiki. Talking to them generally only makes the situation worse. It's better for everyone to just to block and move on in those cases.
