I finally discovered that deactivating a user's account is the proper way to "ban" a user in phpBB3 (I think, maybe I'm still wrong). I noticed that when I used to ban users by username/email in phpBB that the account was also deactivated in Drupal. But now that I choose the "Deactivate User" option instead, the account remains active in Drupal. I'm not sure if this is by design or whatever but I thought I would give a heads up.

The reason for this, provided I remember correctly, is that active in phpBB just means the email address is confirmed. They can reactivate themselves, whereas in Drupal they can't = ban.
