Nothing fancy, just implement it more or less the same way we have
the ability to ban non-logged-in users.  

The sysop clicks on 'block', and then the system says "This is a
logged in user, so don't do this unless you're really prepared to take
the heat for it.  This has to be an emergency situation to ban someone
who is doing something really egregious right now, or to ban someone
who you are *certain* is one of our usual suspects.  Abuse this, and
you'll face the wrath of the community!  No cupcakes for you at the
annual convention!"

And then, conceivably, it also has a checkbox for: Block IP too?

At that point, both the username block and the ip block would show up
in the usual log, so that the action is open to public scrutiny.

Keeping things like this simple and not having the code enforce a
particular solution seems like a good idea to me.

This is the second time now that we've had an emergency where some
jerk logs in again and again.
