Giving any amount of power to everyone as a whole in the current system would destroy something.

Making an account required is also easily abusable. You think trolls aren't entertained by making new accounts and going back at it? Lack of foresight will inevitably making trolling even more popular. I'm glad you're not in charge of things around here.

The one thing the wiki does record that we can use is the IP address...but that's the external IP as far as I'm aware and something that is subject to change based on location. While stronger than account banning, it doesn't fix the issue, and is thus irrelevant as a solution.

Maybe people could just not be evil, but that's never going to happen.
