 Currently when a user asks to have their account pulled (ie turned
 anonymized), we blank out the email and anon them as much as possible. BUT
 we do not change the account status to blocked.

 Since they've asked us not to use/keep their data anymore, we should
 similarly block the accounts and reset passwords to prevent lingering
 cookies from allowing them to give us more data. It rather defeats the
 purpose of their request, eh? :)
