Just screwing around wiht the query, completely untested and i'm half asleep so i don't know if it'll work, but you could try something similar to:

Change:
Code
$query = "
	select t1.USER_ID,t1.USER_DISPLAY_NAME,t2.USER_TOTAL_POSTS
	from {$config['TABLE_PREFIX']}USERS as t1,
	{$config['TABLE_PREFIX']}USER_PROFILE as t2
	where t1.USER_ID <> 1
	and t1.USER_ID = t2.USER_ID
	and	t1.USER_IS_APPROVED = 'yes'
	order by t2.USER_TOTAL_POSTS desc
	limit {$config['TOP_POSTERS']}
";

To:
Code
$query = "
	select t1.USER_ID,t1.USER_DISPLAY_NAME,t2.USER_TOTAL_POSTS
	from {$config['TABLE_PREFIX']}USERS as t1,
	{$config['TABLE_PREFIX']}USER_PROFILE as t2
	where t1.USER_ID <> 1
	and t1.USER_ID != 1
	and t1.USER_ID = t2.USER_ID
	and	t1.USER_IS_APPROVED = 'yes'
	order by t2.USER_TOTAL_POSTS desc
	limit {$config['TOP_POSTERS']}
";

Adding the uID of users to ban (in this case, the line below):
Code
	and t1.USER_ID != 1
