I don't understand... are you not just going to block the user anyway? So if it's that important to them they will just keep creating accounts anyway, right?

It takes time to close a message - 5 votes - and more time to close an account - 10 votes (thanks to people who decided that if they didn't like a post in the lounge it was spam).
It takes 20 or 30 seconds to get to the member page and report it (more when the site is busy being flooded with spam) so even at best they have 5 minutes per account (or way more at the moment because there are so many of them posting they aren't getting reported quick enough). Since they seem to have the bot going and are posting a message every 5 seconds in QA alone, more accounts makes it worse.
Only staff have the Ban Hammer, not even us protectors can do that. And it's a good thing, because it does need oversight to prevent account closure by mistake, and we all make mistakes!

I see... I think the main "take away" point here is that I only need to create 4 more accounts before I can't start getting rid of your CCC answers

Oddly, I was recently on a site and the chat replies were just too generic so I type in that "you just failed the Turing test". Clever folks - their chat-bot had an answer for that!

Well, adding recaptcha to a site is a good way to get the site's IP blocked in my hosts file.
So everyone wins!
