Shockstorm's post is correct, but at the end of the day the problem with blocking users is not limited to Discussions. There is no reason an admin can block on the mainspace and not on Discussions. If you give Discussion Mods ban rights, you may as well give it to patrollers. Too often our admins need telling who to block why, when and how long. Giving D Mods ban rights will still keep the problem in the mainspace, and give an unbalanced amount of power to one user group.
