Banning users is currently ineffective. It's too easy to create a new account. Multiple violations should lead to permanent ban. Banning a single IP-address is usually effective but can also be bypassed with several (easy) techniques.
Perhaps the most effective way is moderating each user registration, and/or ban the usage of free e-mail accounts like hotmail and gmail, this would not apply to existing users though./tensor
