One elegant way of solving this in hard to manage channels is to set
them +m, and devoice misbehaving individuals. This is anonymous
(Chanserv just removes voice, and noone will know which op did it).

This system could be easily enhanced by setting ubotu or Ubugtu to voice
anyone on join (perhaps except those that have been devoiced by an op
before).

Removing voice also looks a lot less harsh than a mute (which looks like
a ban), and is a lot quieter (one line instead of 3).

Just a suggestion. Have a look at #freenode-social (but don't have a
look at the voicing mechanism, there.
