This might help you. Don't remove the user. If you remove the user then vB can't help prevent the new registration.

Set SOM to:

Moderate post

Ban User

In vB don't allow duplicate e-mail addresses. If the IP is a bad IP then ban it in vB. You can also not allow signatures in vB under usergroup permissions. Then create a forum for banned users and don't delete the user, but move the post to that forum. You may keep the forum hidden in forum permissions if you like.
