Thanks for the link, Skolor, it's very interesting, and I hadn't read it before.
I used to be a regular reader of Kuro5hin, but I've fallen away as I've had less time to read general interest articles of late.
The article seems to focus on several suggestions all of which presupposing the idea that user accounts can't be the same as the list of members, so you see an increase in trolling. I suppose I'm not sure I agree.
I'd be interested to find out if people would be as willing to troll, or even just be vindictive, if the had more at stake than simply a disposable username. There would always be some, I suppose, but my hypothesis is that it would greatly diminish.
