If you're getting spammed or trolled by annoying users, it might be a good idea to prevent those users from accessing the site altogether.
To do this, the WP-Ban plugin provides WordPress site administrators with a set of banning filters which can be put in place to deter users from coming back to the site.
These ban filters work on various levels to provide the proper method for banning users in bulk (IP range, host name, user-agent strings), or one specific user individually (IP address).
All of the bans can be managed from a special section under the "Settings" tab in the WordPress backend, and a template message for banned users can be configured there as well.
Installation:
Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
