With the official twitter site and most clients, if you report abuse you
also block the reported party. If the bot operator periodically checks
whether it's blocked after favoriting or @mentioning, they would build up a
list of who's best left alone. Their goals would include going unnoticed by
Twitter governance. Anyone they can detect as blocking their accounts can
be assumed to also be reporting the accounts.
