Most of the jerks aren't that computer literate. A simple way to block them is to just set a cookie with a uuid that never expires when they first hit your website. When ever they log in or register, record the uuid that they used (in case they log in from multiple computers or multiple browsers).. then when you want to ban someone, add all of these uuids to a banned list.. and here is the clincher: don't tell them they are banned immediately when they go to register again. that will tip them off that a cookie is involved. Send them a confirmation email, and when they click the link, your website tells them that there is an internal error and ask them to start all over again. After a few tried they will give up
