Oh, Bob, there is another thing to consider; board policies. If anything, policies against the sorts of things that places like ATT has struggled with lately. I actually ran into an acknowledged sockpuppet over on BoardGameGeek (I'm just a lurker over there) who was trouncing all over a thread about "this was mildly morally ambiguous and should have been considered BLACK MORALLY WRONG by the OP" and refused to see that he was fighting a losing battle, particularly since they were doing it anonymously, having acknowledged they had another account they didn't want the argument connected to. It's that last part that actually really raised my hackles up; I have done the "acknowledged sockpuppet" myself, but I was very much making an above board effort to be open and obvious about which account was considered my "primary" at the time.
I also know some boards have features for "early user posting restrictions" (10-20 posts and replies require moderation, no links allowed, no images) and "verification" (Pinside does very limited rights in certain areas like Marketplace until you donate and/or get vouched for by a verified member). It might be quite useful to have the board support those sorts of additions, even if you don't implement them immediately.
