Restricting speech and expression is not the answer to securing a safer environment online -- or offline. Laying down a reactionary rule now may not even lower the amount of harassment immediately, but it will surely fuel resentment in the long run. Trolling -- or more specifically intentional harassment -- will find a way around the lines and securities and will turn its ugly face as long as there is damage to be done.
Ignoring trolls is not the answer either. Ignoring the problem and hoping it to be solved is akin to idly standing by and hoping it will resolve itself on its own accord. Ignorance in society is a fire that has been burning since the dawn of civilization, and the likeliness of it losing momentum on its own is unreasonably slim.
Anonymity -- like all of humankind's tools -- is not inherently malignant nor beneficial. It is through its application by individuals that it can become hurtful. Therefore, removing anonymity may harm those who benefit it just as much as it hurts those who use it to harm others. In recent years, anonymity has been use to organize revolutions in totalitarian countries, to bring about justice to the immoral by online vigilantes, and to essentially bring liberty and freedom to the oppressed around the world.
The problem with anonymity is not in its obscurity but in the ignorance it makes apparent. We must solve the underlying issues of racism, misogyny, intolerance, and ignorance in general to combat the hateful spite thrown at individuals online.
I myself do not know how I would approach solving ignorance, but I do feel that removing anonymity is not the answer.
