As far as I can remember, I've only blocked three logged-in users: Ric, who just yesterday created a user account and then copied my User and User Talk pages to his pages. I blocked him and deleted the pages.
I think that's totally legitimate. What you might do, in the interests of preserving an aura of neutrality, is ask another sysop to do the dirty work. But that kind of behavior falls pretty cleanly into the category of "pure vandalism", and I see no real pressing need for us to hold a full court case about it.
Wik, twice, for the same violations -- blanking articles and reverting useful content. And both of those times, I reported it on [[Wikipedia:Conflicts between users/Wik]], so those were NOT "sneaked in under the tent flap".
But these were controversial, and remain so. Wik is a regular contributor, not a "simple vandal", a general pain in the neck, but not an emergency situation.
