Agree. Hellbanning is a step too far. If you're going to ban someone, just kill their account honestly, not let them toil away posting.

The moderators' time and effort is valuable too. If someone reacts to a normal ban by creating new accounts and continuing their previous behaviour, what use is there in telling them that their behaviour is not acceptable if they refuse to listen?

That's the price of running a community on the internet.

Bear in mind I've run forums with 50,000+ subscribers and was an EFnet and Quakenet IRC op.
