Comment (by dd32):

 - Passwords are already reset/removed out during erasure
  - Cookies become invalid once the password is removed

 The case that triggered this was an erasure which was requested moments
 after creating content, leading the the idea that perhaps the user had
 created the content after erasure.

 Blocking these accounts doesn't seem like it'll be much benefit, and it'll
 also mean that the anonymised profile activity history is no longer
 displayed to most users which could be an issue when a contributor wants
 to check other threads from the author or something..
