Out of curiousity, how many times has he re-registered at your forums?

I've had some problem users in the post, but after a strict IP ban they usually stopped showing up.

It's hard once a user knows they've been banned, because then they come back persistant on being annoying.

If you replace in functions.php:

PHP Code:

eval("standarderror(\"".gettemplate("error_banip")."\");"); 


With:

PHP Code:

header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
   header("Status: 404 Not Found");
   exit; 


That would simply output a 404-error and the user would never know what happened. Unless of course, someone were to tell them they were banned.

Anyway.. for your current issue.. I would try with some hacking to make it so nobody could view that users posts/threads/pms/etc. Eventually he should get so tired of nobody noticing him, he'd just leave.

I think a hack like this exists around the forum.. you may want to search for it.

Here is another method, by trapping users:
