| @Enrique: The key phrase is "closed sooner or later, anyway" | Oct 23, 2009 |
And that's what my answer referred to. Some questions do get closed by the system, but others have remained in limbo for years.
As for the mechanisms in place for detecting multiple accounts, I've reported three or four undetected cases.
Besides, it's too easy to create an account, submit five questions, reap the answers and never use it again. Repeat.
Regards,
Daniel

Dan, you surely possess the gift of conciseness!
| | | | | Just a quick suggestion | Oct 24, 2009 |
In case of problems in KudoZ please contact the moderator in charge, this is a good practice which helps not to break rules, both for askers and answerers.
Have a nice week end
Angio, (KudoZ Mod)

After getting upset with too many askers that have no good judgement at all, in any aspect, now I am unforgiving: should an asker do anything that upsets me, I will filter her/him for good. Peers also show very poor judgement sometimes and also do things that upset me but, in the end, I will always put the blame on the asker because since s/he is the one that holds the power to do the right thing (even when peers try to lure her/him to do the wrong thing), my reasoning is that, if the asker was ...

Peers also show very poor judgement sometimes and also do things that upset me but, in the end, I will always put the blame on the asker because since s/he is the one that holds the power to do the right thing (even when peers try to lure her/him to do the wrong thing), my reasoning is that, if the asker was smart enough, no peer would be able to trick her/him, so I filter the asker.
When I say "no good judgement", I am obviously not referring to not having my answer chosen. There are lots of reasons that I would label as "bad judgement" and that are not related to the fact that my answer was not chosen.
So my motto has been: upset me once, see me no more.
I have 10+ askers already filtered. ▲ Collapse

It is true what Delveneto says, askers often show no good judgement at all. They seem to pick an answer just because it sounds good or because it has many agrees. They don't check the reasons in support of that answer, which, by the way, are often not stated by the answerer. I've seen askers choose a wrong answer sometimes. But, you know, justice does not belong to the world and to the Kudoz world especially.
