I see that user accounts can be "blocked" or "active". I'm curious if there's a module out there that lets you block a user for a set period of time. I went looking through the module lists, but wasn't able to find one. :(

Funny you should ask. We're talking about writing one. It came out of a conversation with one of our newspaper editors, who's developed a standard set of procedures for dealing with problematic users that includes a series of increasingly severe suspensions.

Just to confirm that there doesn't seem to be anything.
The nearest I got was perhaps a combo of the 'content access' plus 'rules' modules:
http://drupal.org/project/content_access
http://drupal.org/project/rules

It's a very long shot, though.
You'd need to ask the developers of those modules.

The closest I was able to find was http://drupal.org/project/troll, but it doesn't seem to have what I need nor is it D6 compatible.

Not that I know how to use it yet but....

Does it need to be a module?

What about using Views? Generate a list that is both blocked and inactive for xx days?

Then just unblock them....

Though a module could be one less step and also send a friendly, or not so friendly email when their time is up.

It could also send them daily email taunting them why they are evil. Or not.
