Hi Sebastian, I agree with mostly everything you have said, although also still need to have a way to provide accountability. Accountability doesn't have to mean that everyone knows a persons true JID, but there has to be a way to tie events together, so an admin can take appropriate action in the case of misuse.
I remember the old quote of how it is a priviledge to use a service, not a right. Likewise, priviledges come with responsibilities.
