We added a 'silenced' flag that is a more restricted version of mute.
When
someone in silenced, they lose all methods of communication.  No say,
tell,
boards, emote, title etc.  Basically, all they can do is log on, and
kill.

It seems to get old pretty quickly, and they'll usually leave within a
week or so, whenever they figure out that we aren't going to be taking
the silence off of them.
