Yes, but I don't know how helpful it would be. It could however, unmask sockpuppets which would be useful.

In general there should be a way to outsource forum moderation tasks like these, rather than everyone in charge of a community having to do it themselves.

Absolutely there should be! But do you know of anyone providing these tools? Reddit has certain mod bots, but I've never heard of an anti-sockpuppet one. By comparison, there are blockbots, so people who are politically blue can block the greens if they hate their enemies and refuse to see the other sides POV, but since we don't have subreddits, anything of that ilk won't work here.
