I honestly think the major issue here is the fact that people seem to be able to make unlimited multiple accounts without any sort of oversight (either automated or manual). we have one particular nasty case of a player who loves to sexually harass female players, and is able to create a new account (with a dynamic IP address) and be back on our servers in under 4 minutes. To date, we've banned him over 20 times, but he simply creates another account and goes right back to harassing female players (along with the usual childish racist/homophobic stuff).
I don;t know what the answer is, but there has to be some way to prevent the same people from opening so many accounts. Hell, I think that problem even caused the current contest/promotion to be gamed via the humble bundle & Steam keys, etc. I really don't see why any more than a couple of accounts per household are even necessary, but it would go a long way towards helping us keep our servers clean if Valve could start preventing these people from opening account after account. Hell....it's got to be messing with their internal stats as well - so many new accounts created by the same people has got to throw a wrench into their internal metrics.
