Because most users will only see on the front page /u/lok88-approved posts much of the day, can voting be limited to verified email address users?

They'll just make a bunch of emails for their sockpuppet accounts.

I see it as an extra step that would be discouraging. The current method for making and using accounts is much quicker than at some other sites. The extra email verification step should reduce the number of fake accounts. Options to submit posts, vote and comment could also be delayed 24-hours.

Yeah, it might deter some, but not Loki; he'll do anything for attention, like a toddler — a devil-worshipping toddler. I bet it'll shut down the Americans bot for a few days, though. If we ban email addresses along with users, it would make it a bit harder to spam than just asking them to click a link on any old email.
Requiring an email address would also help at making sure u/Basghetti doesn't lose her account again. LOL
