Since account creation was disabled, I'm sure it's the easiest moderation job going.

I always make a fresh new throwaway account here every time I make a post, and,so, by this post you can deduce yourself. This is a zero-minute account, as all my accounts are. You're welcome.

I wish you wouldn't do that, as I think it's destructive to the community. Certainly things aren't perfect here, but certainly they could become worse. Violating the (difficult to enforce) rule that one maintain an "identity that others can relate to" contributes to making things worse.

I think anonymity per se is not that bad, and I'm pretty sure many regularly create throwaway accounts for harmless discussion on many forums just for privacy reasons (avoid profiling & analysis, big brother, personal attacks, etc), not for posting inflammatory or controversial comments.

Websites like Reddit Profile (https://redditprofile.com/about) and HN Profile (https://hnprofile.com) systematically scans all HN comments and identifies all users' expertise, personal interests, activities and emotions, and allow employers to uncover their E-mails and hire them. And it's just a one-man's startup as a social experiment, larger agencies and corporations have at least many order-of-magnitude higher budgets. And I definitely think not everyone wants that.

The problem, I think, is this type of behavior encourages inappropriate uses and abuses of anonymity.
