That is very, unfortunately, the way things are written in the File Policy, If a user fails to categorize an image and receives 2 reminders, they will be blocked for two hours and the blocks will stack the more warnings they receive. I don't exactly believe in it or find it fair either but that's simply the way things are carried out.

The talk page block is more of a precaution at this point since we've had a few incidents regarding that.
