Laravel Ban is a package that simplifies blocking and banning Eloquent models. Using this package, you can make a model "bannable" in minutes.

Model can have many bans.
Removed bans kept in history as soft-deleted records.
Most parts of the logic is handled by the BanService.
Has middleware to prevent banned user route access.
Use case is not limited to User model, any Eloquent model could be banned.
Events firing on models ban and unban.
Designed to work with Laravel Eloquent models.

Using contracts to keep high customization capabilities.
Using traits to get functionality out of the box.

The package has a nice API that makes banning the model simple:

$user->ban();
 
$user->ban([
    'comment' => 'Enjoy your ban!',
]);
 
// A ban that has a ban expiry date
$user->ban([
    'expired_at' => '+1 month',
]);
 
// Remove a ban
$user->unban();
 
// Boolean checks
$user->isBanned();
$user->isNotBanned();
$ban->isTemporary();
