I have a set of rules for pro-bono (read: free) projects. The client has to have a legitimate not-for-profit company serving humanitarian, environmental or animal rights issues. They have to sign a contract like any other client. It's given a budget (in hours) like any other project and if they go over budget they can choose to pay me or find somebody else. I only do a specific amount of pro-bono each year and pick the clients based on which will have the biggest impact on the community.
Making a set of rules for these projects and treating it like any other project will force clients getting free work to take it seriously and not act like a jackass. I'm guessing this guy wouldn't have qualified for any work in the first place which is probably your real problem.
