  General banning is done by putting the user in the "banned" usergroup, so edit the user and change his usergroup.
  Banning by IP address... I don't know about that one.

  What to do if I get a Bonk Error?

  @stephentaylor
  
  To ban via ip go to dashboard > Moderation (on left) >Ban list >add item
  
  You will see a dropdown called 'Ban Type' which offers either of three choices: IP, Email, Name. choose IP then in the field below called 'Ban Value' add the ip address you want to ban. There is a third 'optional' field called notes, where you can leave some text for your own info, e.g 'Troll' etc.
  
  You can enter a ban for the same person, using each of the three Ban Types.
