You can make the Miserable group a Banned group, that way Moderators should be able to put users into the group from the Mod CP. :)

Lucky i had a mate to log on my admin accoutn to make my test account normal :P

Yes, it is very simple. The 2.X version worked perfectly. I'm the admin, so I'm definitely not in usergroup 16. How would an admin suddenly become a member of a group he just created? I would think after 4 tries, I've pretty much eliminated the possibility that it was my mistake. No offense, but there's something you're missing here, I think. This is a fresh RC2 test forum. There's not much I could screw up. As you said, any monkey could install this one. I don't think it's me. Why do you think I reinstalled it 4 times?
I changed the miserableid to the usergroupid I'd created (which I named Miserable Users), then pasted it into the template, just as you've instructed.

I'll tell you what. Here's a copy of exactly what's in my phpinclude_start template. Take a look and see if you can see anything wrong, please. I want so badly for this to work.

It is working nice except the victim is not put into everybody's ignore list. Is there a way to send him to Coventry as well using the same usergroup?

I'll check out your problem later, don't have time for it now. At first glance I couldn't see anything wrong with your phpinclude_start template, so I'm quite stumped at the moment. :(

I'll dig into it more when I have the time, though!

Great hacc. Not sure if I will use this but does give an idea other then banning or refusing ip. Great job

No biggy. The board isn't going to go live for quite awhile yet, but I really would love to have this hack working by the time I go live. I love this hack!!! Yeah, I'm a sadistic bastard too. Hehehe ;)

Excellent work Kura. :) I've been having a slight problem with a certain member on my forum... he didn't deserve a banning so I'll give him this instead. ;)

Again I'd like to ask if there is a way to combine this with adding the user to everybody's ignore list so his posts if he makes it on the forum will not show up?

There is, but that's a ++++load of work which is kinda pointless as you can just put people in the Miserable group first, and then also add them to Tachy C yourself. Much better, no need for a ton of unnecessary file edits..
