But do we have a major problem with anon vandals, as opposed to trolls? That's the real question, isn't it? If we were being overrun by anon vandals, I'd say absolutely, we shut off anon logins. But those "on the frontlines" tell me that this anon vandals isn't the problem -- it's that complete trolls can't be blocked due to our (excessive?) due process.

I think you're right, the issue is more with trolls and POV warriors. And in my experience, the persistent ones create regular sockpuppets to continue pushing their agenda, even when banned. Is there no easy way of ascertaining whether a User is actually a sockpuppet?
