Ban a Cancelled Membership

How do you ban a member who has _cancelled_ their membership?
We have a troll who will uncancel their membership, troll briefly, then cancel their membership successfully evading any attempts to ban them. Do you find this valuable?

My suggestion:

Open his profile in one tab and then have the Updates page in another. When he comes back, quickly refresh his profile and ban him.

Or, change your site permissions so anonymous users can edit and trick him into making an anonymous edit and then IP Ban him. Do you find this valuable?

However, if you ignore him he may eventually lose interest. Do you find this valuable?

Thanks for your suggestions CaptainSpaz. As expected it doesn't appear to be an easy thing to do.

Oh, in general our member's have ignored this one, but it's quite persistant. A few months now. Do you find this valuable?

If you change your site's permissions to private, he will not be able to join. http://www.wetpaintcentral.com/page/Site+Permissions+Settings Do you find this valuable?
