I am puzzled by the technological limits suggested in this post.

Can an administrator not change the password on a user's account?

If so, a solution would be to change Eugine's password to something Eugine doesn't know. Eugine could then not log on and would not be able to either post or upvote/downvote other users.

I am puzzled by the technological limits suggested in this post.

It appears to be a cross between a lack of manpower and a truly terrible codebase and data structures. (I haven't looked at either myself, for much the same reasons I've so far successfully avoided Two Girls One Cup.)
