But there is a constant fight in the forum.
Reason for the fight is always same: alt-accounts and bounty.
Therefore, the most popular sections: Meta and Reputation.
The fights are tiring and annoying.
Forum rules clearly say "You can use different accounts". Even this is encouraged.
In this case, it is ethical to participate in signature campaigns on different accounts.
In this case, participating in signature campaigns on different accounts is not "abuse".
If I bring up a topic. Can I announce my own rules?
* Swear to each other
* Share nude photos
* Do plagiarism
That would be ridiculous, wouldn't it? Because the forum has rules.
Thanks for your comment.
Just I think...
Additional:
The forum rules say "you can use alternative accounts".
Rules don't say, "You can't join the same ad campaign."
So you can use your account as you like.
The purpose of advertising campaigns is to show more people.
Researching people like the police is not the goal.
The missing rule in Bounty is:
"You must earn xx merits in the last 120 days"
If you are looking for quality in the forum, the merit system was made for this.
If conditions are changed appropriately, advertising campaigns also achieve their goal.
After writing quality articles for years, an account can join any campaign.
Why are you fighting so much for this? Merit is very difficult and hard to win.
Why isn't it considered ethical to participate in the same ad campaign?
Whose ethical judgments will we accept? There is no such jurisdiction in the forum rules.
This is not fraud. This situation does not deserve negative trust.
Because the rules fit this situation. We're just discussing ethically.
You have written many valuable comments. My goal is not a bad thing. It's just an ethical-philosophical discussion.
