How to quickly force user offline?

[dollyvarden]

Something must be misconfigured--I've never been able to get a ban to work immediately. I actually have a "stealth ban" mode we created and I prefer to use so they don't see the "scarlet letters" with their user name. My users have mental health issues so I need to approach this sort of thing carefully.

I'll try the tachy goes conventry. Haven't done that before--would you mind telling me where I'd find it?

Thanks so much for this advice, it's very helpful!
