I suggest banning the use of VPNs when accessing DP. This would increase the quality of the site by almost single-handedly wiping out socks, who are invariably trolls operating without a filter in the knowledge that their time is up anyway. Also, it seems to me this would make mods' jobs easier in the process.

I would happily sacrifice the use of my own VPN for this purpose.

This simply won't work. Many people, myself included, use VPN's at work or even on public wi-fi. There are legitimate uses for a VPN and we would lose more traffic than we would gain if we blocked VPN usage.

The socks always expose themselves sooner or later anyway.
