This might be a fun one. I have learned that troublemakers go away if they are utterly ignored, but they cause problems if they are banned.
A hack that might be fun would make an abuser's posts visible to themselves - but nobody else besides an admin. Not even the moderators.
Epinions.com sort of does this with a feature called blocking. If you block somebody, they can be utterly invisible to you. The vbulletin way still shows you that a person is posting. Epinions way, you are oblivious to their existance.
