You could turn it into a simple subscription based service: pay to stay (unbanned).

Pretty sure "price restructuring" (price increases) will be paid by most users (cost sunk fallacy).

Yeah, if Alice and Bob are at war, accept a huge payment by Alice to ban Bob, and then ask Bob a small recurrent fee to unban his account til the next payment.

Mafia style. The second part is called "pizzo".
