I think we need to revisit having the ability for sysops to ban logged
in users. Maybe the wiki way of doing this is to put the ability into
the software, but all sysops must agree to use it *only* to ban
*certain* variants on a known banned troll.

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.
