in thread Backdoor to approving one's own node

Having two accounts that have both accumulated enough XP to reach the level of "ability to approve / consider" is tantamount to violating site policy.

Having multiple accounts is discouraged in general.

If this is so, could you perhaps edit Site Rules Governing User Accounts to make this clear? If I can have my say, I'd prefer if multiple accounts accumulating XP would be allowed, only perhaps you weren't allowed to use more than of them to moderate.

    Do we really need to belabor such a point in “policies” and “rules?”   Maybe it happens a whole lot and I just have never seen it, but ... in many years of quaffing my thirst at this friendly water cooler, I have never seen it, least of all among “monks of some standing.”   If it’s not actually howling in pain and creating quite a ruckus ... well, then, why must we get out of our comfy chairs?

    Sounds like a tricky code-change to me, and maybe we ought to keep on Vroom’s good side...

      Hey, I don't want a code change here, only a clarification of the policies. I'd like to know whether the gods really discourage multiple accounts "in general". That's no code change.

        If I had more than one account, I would be beside myself ...     ;-)
