That would help solve the multiple poster problem as well as giving everyone a fresh start. You would probably lose a lot of posters at first (including me) but I don't think that has to be a bad thing. Give out some free trials or something. I think it's pretty apparent to everyone by now that you can't really control who posts on here and it's starting to feel kind of creepy. If you ban me for saying creepy there's really no way for you or anyone else to know that I haven't already registered a raft of other names in preparation for such a time. One wonders if others haven't also. And without posting any details you don't have to be computer savvy to find your way back in if you want to. I wish it wasn't so. I found a sense of security in thinking bans were real even if I didn't agree with them.
A blanket amnesty will just restart all your same problems again with no new tools for dealing with them.
