Abuse on the internet is a growing problem and one that site admins\mods are struggling with so anything that might help is most welcome. I am an admin on a few forums and the time i now spend dealing with the idiot brigade is taking up most of my time on those forums and being honest after a while it wears you down and you start to lose interest because the interest that drew you to a particular forum is lost when your time is spent mostly dealing with idiots and your no longer able to participate as an ordinary member.

Will this solve the problem of course it won't and in the longterm i am not sure it will be remotely effective against the majority. My biggest concern to this though is if the worst offenders take measures to avoid this those measures will get passed down to lower and lower levels of offenders and we might actually have an increase in worse content as those posting it feel more secure. What can we do i am not sure anything can be done to combat this effectively online because by that time the attitude and behaviour tend to be set our best chance is to get the individuals at an early age and instill in them correct values of decency and ethics not something that websites can really do.

Best case there is a drop for a few months people can recharge their batterys so to speak and maybe come up with some more new ideas. Worst case we see the hardcore quickly take measures against this and then pass that knowledge onto all and sundry leading to increased and more vicious content being dealt with by admins\mods.
