If you want to end trolling/flaming, this is not the way. Ignoring trolls IS a way and if that way fails, there SHOULD be a proper banmethod to ban ip-addresses. This can either be achieved by some arbitrary system in the forum itself or a plain serverban.

Things like "if you post something I think you shouldn't have posted I will not give you access to some arbitrary program/project" often result in
1) a group of users that don't want to post anymore, afraid that they will break the 'law' you just made
2) a group of users that will provoke and will look what is the edge you are defining, resulting in even more spamming and flaming and discussions if something was spamming...
3) a group of users that doesnt care wether or not you are giving them access to your undefined program/project and will continue the way they always did
4) a group of users that will do anything to make Kyle like them, so they might get more rights then others (hunger for power-users) -> the "worship Kyle"-community

Splitting up a community is always a bad idea
