Blocking them is pretty much the same thing as banning them. We have the choice of how long a Block is in place. Usually an INFINITE block is considered a permanent BAN. Sometimes members who are douchebags get a temporary ban. It's funny, SOME of them learn their lesson, behave and do well, some come back after a temporary as bad or WORSE. Those guys get the permanent Banhammer rather quickly.

It's the guys who, out of the blue, create an account and then create havoc on purpose who are hard to filter out.

Which (a real world example) is why terrorism is hard to stop when we have free flow of travel between countries. We can't stop EVERYONE from traveling EVER, but that certainly would eliminate any attacks from foreign travelers to any country. But it's not a solution that is tenable.
