It's trivial to get around IP bans (VPN, etc) and you only need to have one email account even if signup email addresses need to be unique (most providers allow <youremail>+<whatever>@whatever.com (eg: myname+t1@gmail.com, myname+t2@gmail.com, etc. all go to the same email account but are unique). MAC spoofing is a thing as well. I don't know what the answer is here, but some acknowledgement would be good as a start.

"This is something that may take us time to get to, but in the meantime, you can Deny requests and place instructions for your system in the Deny Message." Yeah, see, the whole point is to *not* have to deal with doing this.... You're enabling harassers, abusers, racists, *phobes, etc. to all have a final jab and this increases the tax on both streamers and their mods. Thanks for giving me more work, folks.
