If you block the entire account then the user can't use the account
to download the updates your Abuse Team will responsibly want to
point him/her at. If you want to lose the customer then that's your
business. If you want to keep the customer, helping them fix their
mistakes is probably a painful and thankless task - but important
and useful to the whole Internet community.
