They could ban the stalker.

Alternately, they could release the stalker's name.

And of course they could always use the incident as evidence that the code needs support for other measures.

They could ban the stalker.

For what? Is there a particular explicit rule that's being broken?

Yes, I know how well-kept gardens die. But that's not the only way for a garden to die.

It violates "How should I use my voting powers?" in http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/FAQ#Site_Etiquette_and_Social_Norms but even aside from that, most forums have a rule of "if you're enough of a dick, we can ban you regardless of whether there's an explicit rule prohibiting your exact behavior".
