It's a local meme. Generally it means "too strong administrative action
which I don't like". Rarely it refers to essay ВП:ФБЛОК.
Nobody will tell what it actually is; if you ask different users, you
will get different definitions which will contradict each other. For
example, Vladimir claims that it means banning people for criticizing
project itself; many people would say that it's nonsense and there never
were such blocks on ru.wikipedia, yet some will agree with him.
