 The devil is hidden in the detail. Blocking spammers is of course a good thing and I don't want to switch it off. The issue is that in this case it created a false positive. That is the bug: a legit account was flagged. 

I personally would prefer to have a false negative every now and then if it would prevent this from happening.  
 Why was it a false positive? How does te spam filter works?
