To get more value out of posts you would have to increase the value of accounts. Because you can create lots of alt accounts fairly easily it means a lot of people don't get directly attached to an account, so they will use it as a junk account (spamming, rule breaking, name calling, taking my mother out for dates and not calling her back!).
Currently there's very little difference between an account created right this second and an account that's 7 years old, asides from a different title, color and the ability to create groups. There is very little reason for a user to keep on one account other than handiness and etiquette.
Credit-card authorisation is an idea that I have thrown out before but this site is for anyone over 13 and I believe you need to be 18 in most places to apply for a credit card. That would alienate the 13-18(or 20) age bracket, the primary age of the gaming market.
A thought just occurred to me. My bungie account has been paired with a mobile device for the bungie app. Why not have mobile pairing a requirement to make an account? Not many people have multiple phones so this would reduce the number of alt accounts and, in-turn, would reduce spam. This is the kind of account attachment that needs to be added so that people will try to stick to one account.
