If someone is genuinely trying to troll a forum, a ban wont stop that. Getting a new email address and filling out a new forum application is clearly written within the job description of a troll.

1. This is not a public forum. It is a website owned by a private concern, to be used under the terms and conditions that they elect to establish.
2. People (not just handles) can, and have, been banned from many types of forums. Including pre-banning! Also, re-banning, once found to be a sock-puppet.
3. If by 'they do so willingly' you are indicating a veiled threat that if banned, surreptitious methods will be used to return in another guise, you might wanna check your bravado at the door: some forums include statements such as found below in their TOS, and some admins/operators can be a real pain to people they consider to be disrupting or breaking into their resource, and may contact your own ISP, since you are likely breaking your own TOS with them by persisting where you have been asked to leave.
Hypothetically.

Banning
If you are banned you will respect the decision of this board and will not sign up with a different alias as an effort to defraud the good will of this board nor its member base by doing such. If a banned member continuously attempts to harass the board and/or it's members the personal information of that banned person will be forwarded to he responsible authorities and the offender will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
