Did you ever consider that there might be a good reason for that and
that same reason might also apply to creating an account for the sole
purpose of making an AFD nom? We already give less weight to AFD
"votes" from anons and newly created single purpose accounts,
shouldn't the nominations be held to the same or a higher standard?

No, there is another way. You can ask someone else to make the nom for
you. This looks a lot more kosher then creating a trash account to
make the nom. That makes you look like someone's sock puppet.
