Thanks for that inspiring idea. But I've now set it so all new users need five approved posts to become full members, and ran the upgrade usergroup process to move all semi regular members to the higher usergroup.
best way has to be send the user to coventry as i tried that week on an annoying member and even though they could still post etc no one else could see it and everything went quiet.
I unbanned the person from coventry and they are still none the wiser to what i done as everything seemed fine to them.

They mass spammed the site a few times, which got cleared up by moderators. Hacked friends accounts, got into various arguments and flame wars which caused people to leave the forum, spammed an old shoutbox which I used to use, spammed shoutboxes and impersonated people on forums ran by people who go to my own forum and were banned from various unrelated sites for being... idiots.
umm if this person is continuously using a proxy you can report him for abusing the proxie and using it in a harrassing manner. or read my thread I made on this.
Ignore them, or put them in the miserable users group and use very low settings so it's just slightly annoying and don't realize that you are messing with them.
There is a mod in the forums that prevent banned users from logging out. He would have to delete his cookies every time. After a while, he'll get tired.
