You could also ban the IP in your .htaccess file, I used to do that a lot with this one particular user.

With that user I mentioned, the more I actually banned him, the more hostile he got; but Miserable Users is a more passive approach. He didn't realise I was actually still keeping him off of the forum, so he cooled off, thinking *I* was the one stuck with a crappy server.

Can you set it up so that it looks like they're just a regular user? So they don't figure out they're specifically being targetted?
