Simply create a new user group called 'banned users'. Then make that group have control over all your forum and remove all posting priveleges from members of that group. Then whenever an annoying user appears you can either temporarily or permanently assign them to this group.
That said you have a number of ways to completely ban a user from accessing the forum.
I already do these things.
The purpose of my proposal was not to ban users from the forum, or to limit their ability to post, but to "relegate" the trolls. In political discussions (for example) the accusation of censorship is often made, in this way nothing is deleted, nobody's access is forbidden. The post are there, if the users wants to read them, they can. At the same time, users who trust moderators' judgement can read interesting posts and avoid trolls.

Slashdot scoring system follows the same principle.
