Hey there,

If looks like you've hit this bug: http://bit.ly/j1mLSS

If you could capture the exact request you made (+ full HTTP response with
headers) and share this on the issue page linked above, that would help us a
lot.

Thanks!

I was the user who complained to Anil about this and would like to
add, that it is in no way whatsoever limited to the divadmarketing
account, which cannot be blocked. I find, that it is the majority of
users, who cannot be blocked via the API.

An incomplete list of other accounts, which couldn't be blocked:

- pkvneutral24
- PaulaTrumbo
- AlexanderHeinzl
- aprohirdetesekc
- _Geldverdienen_
- SpeedAdvertise
…

Just wanted to add this, to make it clear that the scope is not one
particular strange account, but is much wider.
