    If you ban domain name, you could be banning active members who would help your forum.

    You could ban a specific email address.

    Yes you can, when you ban a specific email change the username to *
    IE: darren@Forumactif.com to *@forumactif.com
    Admin panel >> Users & Groups > Ban control > Email 


    Be very aware that you are blocking ALL registrations, even the legit registrations by using the wildcard.
    In your case the drdrd.com will probably never be used again though.
