Right now as it stands one can either ban someone entirely from the site or just mute them. I was thinking, would it be viable to add an option to keep a banned person in just specific boards or just one board? That way, if they were a problem in some parts of the forum but not in others, the admin can choose to cut down where the perp can go on the forum.
A new banning option?

That is actually doable already in Wedge though it's not obvious. Groups can be limited to certain boards so you can create a Banned group and disable access to all but specific boards.
There is a blog post somewhere on the various overhauls that I think need to occur to the banning system.

I've actually done that in SMF. It's more work for a few minutes but it saves so much moderation time it's worth it.

It's a LOT more work in SMF since there's no way to exclude groups from board access, you can only 'not grant access' as opposed to 'refusing access'.

True, to me it was worth the effort.

Oh, I'm not disagreeing that it's worth the effort but that on SMF it's a LOT of effort. I redesigned how board access works and you can deny groups to boards. Though I also made it so that board visibility is not the same as board access, so you could make a donation-only board visible to everyone but only give access to people who've paid.

That would be interesting. I see a few real possibilities there.
