If they've made a post, there's an option to ban them in the 3-dots drop-down menu. If not, you should be able to find them in the 'subscribers' tab of the community settings ('ban' is in the Actions drop-down). If they've not made a post and they're not a subscriber, then I'm not sure.
They have only commented and don't seem to be a subscriber.
Related topic: Having to click through page after page to find a subscriber in the subscriber list is clunky as hell. I'd like to see a search feature there.
Rimu has now added the option to ban users via the drop-down menu next to their comment.
It's maybe not a good idea to make it too easy to ban people who haven't created any content, as it's the kind of thing that often causes a lot of boring fedi-drama. Though I realise that there still might be other reasons why mods might want to search through the subscriber list.
It's definitely tricky. When a community gets large and busy enough, though, that will probably be a worthwhile risk.
