My understanding would be more like, "Yes, it can be a problem but who promised you there would be no problems?".

I'm unsure why there are repeated attempts to solve social issues with technology. We could more easily solve world hunger than to have all Perl programmers on this site agree on exactly how the site should work. Either you continue to use it, or you don't.

As for identifying anonymous posters within a thread, a cookie with the root node ID and a random string could be set and read back signifying AM #1 through AM #n with something resembling session handling code. It wouldn't require a password or grant anything above AM access, and would cut down on identifying AMs from correlating disparate threads together. I'm not sure how hard this would be in the site's codebase so it's possible but may not be feasible given the circumstances.
