Accountability is literally impossible if people keep on having alts or finding ways to anonymize their actions. "Opsec" can as much be an excuse to escape accountability. This applies to both the admins/mods and users.
The way out is do what the vast majority of forums did in the past, which is to reward old users and penalize new users. However, I suspect this will never be used because it quickly leads to the formation of power usersTM, goes against the spirit of Hexbear being "egalitarian."

I wasn't really being very serious, just pointing out how funny it is to see unnamed user banned from a comm by unnamed mod.
