Petition for permanent IP ban punishment option

[ymw]

I voted yes to the permanent part. There's no way to completely and utterly block someone off and there are certainly better ways than an IP ban to try, but *something* a bit more permanent would be awesome for the people that truly deserve it.

I know there's concern about false positive, but I'd like to think that qualifying for one of the more extreme banning methods would also include a much, much more cut and dry offense/set of offenses.
