One question, when you are talking about access, are you refering to reading as well as posting, or posting only? And please elaborate when you refer to "access masks".

Imagine that you create some groups called first time kicked,second time kicked,recidive and stupid, now you die.
With a quick wizard you can set which forum are linked to that groups.
In back end the wizard automatically set forum permissions (no access, no post, no nothing... = "ban from a forum") for that groups about the forumid setted during wizard setup.

Ok, now the user "Caius" get an AWS ban for the first time:
AWS system set his group as first time kicked (just for the time of the AWS ban) and then Caius can't access|write|read to the list of forum linked to that group.

Ok, after a month Caius is AWS-banned for the second time. Then AWS set his group as second time kicked..

etc.. etc..

The concept is to deny access to a list of important forum from recidive banned people..
