# Deactivate User

 * Is there a plugin, which you can put either a temporary ban on access into the
   wordpress blog, ie do not allow access for 1week. or a system where I can temporarily
   disable their account.
 * Run in an education setting, I decided to change the password of a student, who’s
   access was being removed. Unfortunately I didn’t change the email address the
   user had on their record, so they just reset the password…. 🙁
 * If there is an easy way to do this, without having to change the password, and
   the email and then reset them both back to what they were, then this would be
   a lifesaver.

 * I would love to see this plugin also. I have been googling around fully expecting
   this to have already been written. I have a chat that needs some management. 
   Some users need cool off timeouts and to be taught manners.
 * The ban/timeout could be permanent or time dependent. The post login screen should
   have a default message that could list the reason and how to get un-banned.

 * Clarkburbidge – exactly what I need – although in an education environment…
