user259867

A surprise for me. Knowledge-on-demand model. Most visitors are anonymous one-page viewers. Where does "education" come from?

hichris123

@FamousBlueRaincoat Knowledge-on-demand is education.

user259867

@hichris123 Then why did you close Earth Science Help! instead of providing education in the form of (C) is correct?

AstroCB

@FamousBlueRaincoat They seem to switch their "core goal" around a bit, but they're usually fairly synonymous.

bjb568

@FamousBlueRaincoat Net educational benefit since educators can spend time doing things that can benefit more people?

hichris123

3:11 AM

@FamousBlueRaincoat Because it's education for one, not the many.

user259867

Others will be googling for that too, when they get same homework assignment.

hichris123

... but does it teach them much of anything?

Stack Exchange has always been about education, and explanation is a big part of education.

You can't explain the answer to a multiple choice question too well, and it's not super useful expect in a very localized situation.

user259867

3:30 AM

When I look at EdX sites, which do have that educational goal at the core... the difference from normal SE sites is obvious.

@Braiam (Relatively) early bedtime puts hichris at a disadvantage in Drupal spam-hunting.

Shog9

@Bart i'm a bit dense tonight I guess; not entirely clear what you're asking here.

Alexis King

5:22 AM

@Shog9 Looks like @Bart is pointing out that the official policy seems to be okay with allowing people to create new accounts to get around bans (since it rate-limits those new accounts), but some mods still seem to be instructing people it's against the rules.

Shog9

@AlexisKing oh. Well, that's easy then: Meta faqs are not rules. They may document rules, or... they may just document how the system behaves.

Jan Dvorak

Well, that's kinda confusing

Shog9

?

The rule for running multiple accounts is: you can do it as long as you don't use them to circumvent restrictions.

Jan Dvorak

The FAQ should state that creating a new account to get out of a ban counts as circumventing a restriction.

Alexis King

So I can legitimately run a sockpuppet to give myself more votes per day? o.O

Or does that qualify as "circumventing restrictions"?

Jan Dvorak

5:32 AM

The vote limit is a restriction

Alexis King

On a totally unrelated note, really belated thanks to @Shog9 for the link to the Stack Overflow rap.

Q: How should sockpuppets be handled on Stack Exchange?

So a high-reputation, highly-active user has already been dinged once for a sockpuppet, and I just dinged him again. He probably has another sockpuppet as well. What are the guidelines for handling users who game the system in this fashion? Specifically, How can I be sure I'm looking at a soc...

A: So you got banned? No problem, just create a new account (or not?)

That FAQ was... Potentially misleading. I've edited it to be a bit more accurate: Can I simply create a new account? Yes, but doing so violates the rules for operating multiple accounts - namely, it allows you to do something you would otherwise be restricted from doing. Penaltie...
