Answer - torturing him ;D;D;D
Dear Mods,
I hope you dont mind me making this suggestion. Im guessing that youre gonna love it actually, but feel free to delete this if you feel its inappropriate.
I think all of us are concerned about site integrity, as well as catching fish.
"Miserable User" is a plugin for vBulletin forums.
When classed as miserable, a member suffers ;
1. Slow response (time delay) on every page (20 to 60 seconds default).
2. A chance they will get the "server busy" message (50% by default).
3. A chance that no search facilities will be available (75% by default).
4. A chance they will get redirected to another preset page (25% & homepage by default).
5. A chance they will simply get a blank page (25% by default).
6. Post flood limit increased by a defined factor (10 times by default).
7. If they get past all this okay, then they will be served up their proper page.
Note: All the above options are set in the vBulletin Options.
This is much better than banning him, according to other forum Mods.
it is also applied to the trolls ip address, not just his user name, and therefore works on all his aliases, even the sleeper ones that have been there for months.
