I know it's not easy, but if you do that, they'll get tired/bored of trolling your board eventually and move on to some other forum/sites and leave the site altogether, and you'll keep your "good members who aren't trolls/troublemakers or flamers." I know it's hard for members to ignore (or to not take the bait), but yeah, that's the best solution/policy for any forums that's got too many of them. You can't ban/get rid of them anyways yes? So just ignore them and let them be.

Oh yeah, some guy wouldn't leave me alone... and argued with me in my entire forum (50-60 pages of argument)...
about everything (I think he was obsessed with me or something...) and would say the most horrible thing to me in my OPs (like I just hate you or something...) and then rant about me not answering him/ignoring in 2-3 to 5-6 pages. |

I personally think that they can be banned forever if you try to find a very intuitive way.

Yeah, I had one (I'm not admin anymore.)
Now, that's some real forum drama. |
