To be honest, I'm more troubled by the empty alt attribute than the use of !important. !important just makes your own life harder. The empty alt makes some of your users lives harder.
"An example" maybe. Since you have used an <img> element in HTML and not a background image in CSS, you're indicating that it's content pertinent to the page. By adding an empty alt attribute, you're hiding that content from screen readers, so their users won't even know that an image is present. It's generally regarded that unsighted users should at least be aware of a image's presence so that they might discuss it with others.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
