I searched for a good while, but did not find this exact problem, or at least any method of solution so far. More questions seem to be about blocking spam signups, which is not an issue for us, as we dole out our logins upon request:)

I run a school site. In order for it to run well, we need to be able to block students who have been inappropriate, etc.. We do NOT, however, want to delete their profile, stream, follows, friends, etc.., since this would be super punitive. Right now though, neither the Capabilities Manager plugin nor the Admin “block spammer” option works for us. The CM actually doesn’t seem to do anything, and the “block spammer” removes all important traces of the user. From their perspective, it’s basically a delete and then a new account.

Is there a solution for this? This is huge for our site, and for anyone with students who must be allowed to fail and then try again, without dire consequences. thanks all for looking at this, and thx for all work on BP so far.
