As much as I would like to see Zog banned, this could potentially lead to 
horrible flame wars. Maybe a compromise would be to give sysops the ability 
to ban a logged in user for a set period of time, say 12 hours, until a 
decision can be reached and a developer can put a longer term ban in place. 

Just a suggestion.
