The abuse referenced is moreso because of the STEEM that is given to each new account. Currently Steemit pays the cost, so this is to prevent users from creating new accounts just to game the system and take the STEEM. The ethical way to do this is to create an account and pay the creation fee yourself (currently 6 STEEM). I wrote a post on it. You can find that here.
