OK guys, what if... hear me out... users had to register to post on the site?

From my point of view, the single biggest problem with the site from the moderation perspective is that it's too easy to evade bans, especially in the phoneposting world. I've been jannying for years now and am constantly dealing with both overt ban-evaders and people I'm pretty sure are only shitposting because they're confident they can evade a ban easily.

Suppose that in order to post on the site, you first had to register a username and password using a unique e-mail address. We could even build in a delay of, say, 24 hours to the registration. Posting would be exactly the same - the username has no bearing on what displays on your post, it's just required for you to log in to post.

Outwardly, the site would be identical, but with this new barrier to posting, all of a sudden a ban evader needs a new e-mail address every time they want to shitpost again, and/or an additional wait time. The pain of doing this would make the number of ban evaders drop dramatically and post quality would skyrocket as a result - not because ban evaders make up a large proportion of posters, but because their constant shitposting fosters a culture of shitposting.

Think about it. Tell me I'm crazy.
