Punishments only affect a handful of people. Aliasing affects the entire community.
How exactly aliasing at WO affects the entire community? Again, it doesn't give any advantage, well, except if you got paired with your own alias - but this can only happen if you use multiple nicknames.
If the problem is that multiple nicknames generate much more work, then ban and punish multiple nicknames. Or limit the number of players (yes, I know you will). Because increasing popularity does the same. But simple aliasing doesn't have to do anything with this.
I know what's really bugging you, it's the style of playing, which is kinda impossible to punish, so you brought up this aliasing thing to punish some guys you don't like, because that's forbidden at TUS leagues (at least this is what your argument implies). But seems like you did not think through why is that so. I hope I don't have to explain the Élő system. WO doesn't run anything like that, afaik.
I never knew aliasing was forbidden at WO, because I don't see any problem with it. Also I'm quite sure there were a lot aliasing before as well. If it was such a big problem, you could have clarified the punishments already before the games started.
Make it invite only, I know FFie's planning to do it. That might solve your problem. But please. If you do so, let the players know that in advance.
