Getting the creation time bans working with a user group list is trivial, but for the menu option I'd have to add a new item under the "Thread Tools" menu as the other two menus currently used won't be available to non-mods. Would this be OK?

They can be added to the ban list but it won't ban them as the moderator permission check overrides the ban list check.

Leave it with me and I'll see what I can do.

People can be unbanned from the option on the Administrative Tools menu. Thinking about it, it wouldn't be difficult to add an unban option to the Moderation Tools menu too, so the owners of any selected posts can be unbanned quickly.

I've also had a request from a moderator on my site to allow bans at forum level too so I'll see if I can get that into the next version whilst I'm at it.
