I like the idea of this and downloaded it to take a look at the files. It says in your README that it does fine with smallish communities.

What could I do for my large one?

Could I have new registrations check with the banned (or other user group I specify?.... I have an "almost banned" usergroup that has no privileges other than posting...)

Could this hack work if instead of it comparing to all the members (over 21,000 now) could it compare to the few in the banned group and in this special group I created and maybe the option to add additional names we are suspicous of and keeping an eye on?

thanks for your help on if this is tweakable. :-)
