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

... 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

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

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
