My main point, though, is not about hotmail or yahoo accounts. The central thing I'm trying to say is that there's not much point in having policies regarding behavior if there's no way to enforce them, and there's no way to enforce policies when anyone can use an anonymizer and create a hundred sock-puppet identities for themselves.
But do we have any evidence that anyone has actually done this?
I mean, we do have problems with persistent vandals and trolls and whatnot, and we ought to look for technical measures, including stuff in the general area of what you're talking about. But I'm not convinced that people using anonymizers and creating sock-puppet email accounts is a big part of that problem.
