What is Twitter's stance toward abuse? That is, when does Twitter take action to remove or freeze accounts and why?

In a separate thread (What is Twitter's stance towards abuse), both mdoeff and eMOM floated the idea of giving users the option to choose whether or not they want Track to respect their Block list.

I'm reposting the relevant excerpts below for easy reference.

mdoeff said: What if Twitter gave us a configuration to include or exclude blocked users from Track results? That way people can decide for themselves. Most people will probably choose to see the bad with the good but at least this way people would be able to turn off the noise if it becomes abusive or excessive. The only debate on this should be around what the default setting is.

eMOM said: As for the the track feature, It would be great to have the option to choose if you want it to obey the block list or not.

Taking off from the above comments, I'd love it if Block can be refined so that it's more precise (less of a 'blunt axe,' if you will) and more forgiving.

Something like this, perhaps:

Are you sure you wish to block 'username'?

[_] Yes, block user completely ( @replies, track, updates )
. [_] Block user on Track
. [_] Block user on Web (updates and @replies)

How long should this user be blocked?
(_) for ___ hours
(_) for ___ days
(_) for ___ weeks
(_) forever!

Also, it's currently not easy for people to revisit the list of everyone they've blocked, which again makes Block less forgiving.

I just blocked a whole bunch of twats that keep sending the same messages over and over, and all of them the same message. I wasn't following them, but have a 'track' in IM on a particular keyword.

I was expecting the blocking would prevent these messages from getting through, but I just received the whole batch of the same message AGAIN, 14 or 15 times the same message, the same that was sent countless times before also.

How do I get rid of these without giving up my track which is valuable to me? I just don't want to see the tweets from THESE twats I've blocked already.
