Every day we manually ban 4 or 5 users from the site.  Usually these are spammer or scraper IP’s, sometimes they are actual members or visitors that have gone out of their way to break our rules.

We use the Drupal Troll module to ban members & IP’s  which allows you to redirect banned members to a static HTML page that you create.  Of course you can make this static page say anything you want, like “fug off, you’re banned“, but that just gives someone reason to get even more pissed-off.  I usually keep our ‘banned’ page disguised as some sort of error message, and when I get bored I change it.  Last night I was bored so I updated the page again, this time in a more creative way than usual.  You can see our current “you are banned” page here: ->  You are banned! That should throw them off..
