Why? Suppose you have 2 members, who live in the same building. One of 'm is an ass, the other is fine. If you only block one user, they're likely to figure out that you made *some* sort of change to his/her account. If you block their ip address(es), they'll not know why and reckon it's an ISP/routing problem instead (because that's far more likely then).

Can be WAY more effective, that way ^_^

I have the IP based misery working in my forums. In fact I have applied it to most of the anonymizers and a few users. It is working like a charm. But I never did an Admin CP interface for it and I enter the information into an array of IP addresses in the php source.

I am not sure if this would interest anyone. I suppose I can make an Admin CP interface for it as well.
