"So much of what we do is ephemeral and quickly forgotten, even by ourselves, so it's gratifying to have something you have done linger in people's memories." John Williams
I understand your line of thinking, but are we really solving the problem?
What is the problem? The problem is that people create alt accounts on a daily basis to harass other others and create anarchy in the forums just for getting a laugh out of it. Because of them, we should restrict all other users that sign up for bungie.net?
Achronos has mentioned previously that on any given day, there are always more readers than posters (referring to 1% rule). For the average user that signs up on bungie.net to post a thread and ask a simple question, wouldn't this hinder them?
If the problem is spam, why not create a solution for spam? The best tool to use is for members to simply ignore them. Ignore, ignore, ignore. Don't give them attention, don't post anything. Post in good threads, not bad ones. The good threads will rise to the top, the bad ones will be sunk. Unfortunately, most new members don't understand this principle. Fortunately, Achronos has already promised us to whip up a solution for bungie.next.
