I would suggest using another username than 'Please Don't Block'. I doubt that such a username will reduce your chances of being blocked; rather, if anything, it would increase them. Furthermore, it suggests that you believe there is a reason you might be blocked. Don't do things that will get you justifiably blocked, is my suggestion.

As someone who monitors the new users log, I have to say that while "Please Don't Block" isn't offensive, it is a poor choice for a username because the unimplied message there is "Go ahead, I dare you." There are plenty of other usernames that you can have, but this particular one can just rub people the wrong way.
