So opinion and arguments don’t matter if there isn’t a name attached to them? Or maybe I’m misunderstanding what you mean by ‘enable’ which isn’t very clear.

On sites like StackOverflow, and to some extent LessWrong, what actions an account can take is determined by its karma, and so upvoting an account is saying “this account should be able to do more,” which is problematic if it’s an open account. There’s also an implicit version of this, where people check out an unknown account’s karma to influence how they think about it.
I just changed username2 to have a 0x vote multiplier, so it can be used for anonymous commenting but not anonymous voting.

The account username2 can only vote once in a poll.
What other permissions? The ability to make new top level posts? That seems like something you want an anonymous account to do.
