Not sure how you're going to enforce that.

Who said I would enforce it? I don't have the power to check for alts
Basically we need someone who knows what is an alt or not and then I or some mod bans them

To be certain if someone is an alt, other than them confessing, a community mod would have to check their profile and they don't have time f | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Actually they can and do and have asked people to report alts used for nefarious purposes such as harrassment, upvotes, or even for when the main account gets a timer.

There's no good way to do that.
Due to privacy concerns, the mods generally cannot check alts for you, and my current method (lengthy investigation: comparing memes, speech patterns and activity) is imprecise. Despite substantial efforts to curb alt voting, several probable alts still snuck through in the last election. There isn't an easy answer to this.
Plus: people could easily use multiple accounts with VPNs that wouldn't immediately be apparent, even to mods.
