From [[WP:VPT]]:
We're seeing autoblocks pop up in cases where the blocked user hasn't edited in a Very Long Time. For instance, at [[User talk:Esoglou]], we see he was hit by an autoblock from an account blocked in late 2009. I've seen several other such today.
and
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:BlockList?wpTarget=%233617969 should show (in this case) the autoblock information; I don't see any way to lift an autoblock any more.
