get forum rules in place, ban users who overstep the line and make it very clear publicly why you are banning them and what the point of your forum is. Add the best of those that remain to your mod-team.
/lends scottayy his banhammer +15 vs. Trolls
I'm expecting that back though

You must learn the way of the Katana if you ever expect order. Heres mine, look but you can't have

Although labeled a banhammer, this is my personal sidearm:

Some may call it a boomstick.

We stop at nothing to keep the forum a nice and friendly place. Every moderator has to prove his martial arts ability, though, and proficiency with at least two weapons of his choice. Only then will he/she be awarded the Katana of Modhood +20 (no drop). It's all for your own security, of course

Spoken, er, written like a true mod who has earned his Katana of Modhood. And now, knowing the "protection" the mod team provides, I feel more secure.
Thanks moddies!

A camping axe, a rubber sword, and uh ... uh ... uh ... a revolver eating a knife?
So you want to play tough do ya!
Then I guess I'm forced to roll out a couple of these fictional babies!

That's a mobile brewery (Fermenter, Filling Machine etc.)? Very good thinking! We'll add that to the list of prerequisites for mods.

I feel scottayy's answer has been given but seriously though... rule & moderators (in various time zones) is all you need... after a while it should steady out.
