I don't consider banning a good option if the person wasn't warned beforehand. People can reregister and it can get messy. Speaking with the person and convince them to behave differently in the future should be the first choice. Karma punishment sounds like a good tool.

Unless this is a different person from the person who has been the cited mass downvoter every other time it's come up, they have very definitely been warned.

In some sense yes, in a practical sense I don't think so. Talking with the person more directly could be enough to get them to stop.
