You shouldn't be able to use the bot at all while blocked - please ask a
sysop why are you blocked and ask for unblocking. It may, however, be
possible to enforce that only for actual edits, and only show a warning
when getting pages. (Note that some older MediaWiki versions don't allow
you to get the edit page while blocked, but this doesn't apply to Wikimedia
sites.)
