I think that would be a great mod! In the edit user section, where you would be able to suspend the user and have the option to "remove all posts" by the member. I know, won't work on guest posts, but it's a start.

since guests can't post in our forums, then it would work for us!
I'd ban the IP, suspend the user, delete all posts, or in our case, we move them to a post graveyard section that's hidden from all but moderators, that way if there's a mistake, a post can be recovered.
We then go in and delete posts over so many weeks old to clean up now and then.
So in our case, I'd like to:

1. Ban poster's IP.
2. Suspend user, make comment "spammer" and who took action (we put our names or initials in as sort of a way to track in case of a problem).
3. Move all posts to the post graveyard.
