Normally we give users with accounts a warning then ban them for a week (we skip warnings for anons), we just keep baning them hoping they will learn their lesson. You can change a user's rank by typing in search Special:UserRights and typing in a username. There isn't a rank that disables the ability to edit pages. Before baning users I look at their block logs to check for past offenses then I escalate the punishment based off of that. Unfortunately infinite banning has been removed so the longest youm can ban someone is one year.
