I really wanted to do this (and I might be doing this for the version running on my own site) but phpBB does not have a standard trash can yet. It is more then likely I will rewrite this mod when phpBB decides on a soft delete system.
Why don't you add a settable field so the admin can designate a forum ID as being the trash can? plus an option to enable/disable trash canning?

I could
While I'm at it, I can allow an admin to set the rank they receive as well as a banned member.
In fact, acp_users has an option of moving all a users posts. You could copy that code over. You could have a dropdown where you can select the forum to move the posts to. That's easy to implement and doesn't require any new config keys.

I was also planning to automate the rank assignment process as well, in an ACP module they will be able to configure the ban hammer, they can choose the forum in which posts are moved to and choose the rank banned users will be assigned.
2 config keys shouldn't be a big deal, I have an automatic module installer anyway (which I need to improve upon).
EDIT: added Planned Features section in first post.
I have some more info on 1.1, this is the final feature list of features that are being implemented:
Ban Hammer accessible via ACP
Ban Hammer accessible via MCP
ACP Configuration
Assign Trash Can Forum, instead of deletion
Assign rank to give hammered members
Set predefined Ban reasons
Three new Permissions
a_hammer_ban - If an admin can use the Ban Hammer
a_hammer_settings - If an admin can configure the settings
m_hammer_ban - if a moderator can use the Ban Hammer
Stop Forum Spam integration - A more last minute feature, but it will have the abilty to automatically report Hammered Users.
Error Handling - The current version really has nothing aside from "You can't ban the founder" in terms of error handling, but this new version will be more user friendly in that department.
Ability to define a usernote - to give to everyone as the Hammering is taking place
Archive spammer's PMs - to posts in the "trash forum"
Screen shots will be available in the next few days.
It's a known bug. I believe Sam-T has it fixed in the next version. And it's not just sometimes. If they aren't activated and you ban hammer them, you'll always get that error.
