Thanks for the addition to this hack.

BTW, there is one thing that would tip off the banned user that s/he is being banned. I tried a test and when banned using this method they can't post any new replies and it takes me to the standard not logged in or you are being banned by admins page.

Is there a way that a banned user can still post, but that goes immediately into hidden mode so no one else can see except the banned user. I think this way it will be more effective in secretly banning the abuser into thinking that everything is normal.
