Would be great if this was the caseYou don't need a legal reason to ban someone.
If he asked not to be banned and he's out to cause you trouble, you may have just rattled his cage
Provide the XML and politely tell him that you will request a search for data as requested but for which there will be a fee to cover your expenses.
If he is happy to pay the fee then you will invoice him accordingly and once the invoice is settled provide the information requested.
I bet he will back right off if it means paying for it

Would be interesting to see what their logic in that court ruling. But I’d say it’s fairly safe to say that for a normal random user, there is no legal reasoning that you are forced to allow them to post, have an account on your private forum, etc.Would be great if this was the case
But it isn't the case (at least in Germany).
There have been rulings in Germany (Landgericht München I Az. 12 O 16615/06, unfortunately the full text has not been published) that you can't just ban as you like.

That'll be put to the test soon in the US due to somebody getting kicked off Twitter and is now suing. It'll set extremely bad precedent if the person gets any credence to their claim in court.But I can’t think of any legal reason where a random user signs up and you are forced to allow them to have an account/ability to post and you have to pay for the server resources to host their account when you don’t want to.
Of course laws go before a Terms of Use. What I was implying is that a user/member cannot request data that is not subject of GDPR if it is stated in said Terms. GDPR only applies to data that can directly identify a user as a specific person. If a user has a name like badboyxxx06 and a similar email, the only logical thing that could connect that user to physical person would be his or hers IP address (which is questionable since probalby more than one person uses that computer unless it's a single person which you can't know). So deleting the user is enough action, all posts and content can remain on site if you made that clear in the terms.You can add any point of Terms of Use if it goes against the GDPR then it has no value.
Under GDPR you cannot charge for personal data.
Of course the XML will already contain all of the personal data you have - the rest is public data and he/she is also free to search for it from their profile.
