Thanks for checking and blocking the user. It is reassuring to know that blocking users is still possible.

In short, the way the ASF mailing list software (ezmlm) works is that it is Nabble that is subscribed to the users list, not the individual Nabble users. Therefore, the ASF list moderators only have the rather blunt instrument of blocking all Nabble users - an action that would harm many legitimate users. It is good to confirm that this is not the only option available.
