That same person then goes on to report decent users of Q&A of going against the community guidelines?

I see the foul mouthed imbeciles are stopping up late tonight because there's no school in the morning to get up for.
It is against the rules to have more than one account because people do actually ask questions from one account, answer from another and then award themselves 'Best Answer' from the first account. Duh!!

It is not clearly against the community guidelines to have 5 active accounts. I only have two now but used to have dozens of high level accounts.
It is against the community guidelines to use them wrongly.
If he is reporting reportable answers/questions and not trolling then i can't see he's doing anything wrong, unless he is double reporting to purposefully have people removed.
Source(s): I often wonder what is meant by a td? Are you saying i have said something wrong? Well all of my accounts were level 6 or above and i made it perfectly clear on YA that i had these accounts. They were all used correctly and i posted several times on yahoo answers and the community forums that i had these accounts. My posts were clarified by yahoo answers as being acceptable if used correctly. I never lost any account, i closed them myself. So would you care to explain the td? Margaret: In my case i had 3 email addresses which helped me keep different types of mail organised and i had a slow internet connection. It was much easier to create answers accounts on all 3 addresses rather than sign in, sign out etc. I made other accounts as i needed. Why would i need? Because in those days (not so long ago) your profile was coupled to yahoo 360 so if someone liked your answers and wanted to check your profile, they could go to your 360. On your 360 you could put links to your own websites if you wanted to, so having many accounts was a great SEO tool. (Search engine optimisation tool.) Misty, it is NOT against the rules to have more than one account, and as mentioned, i have asked the question many times in the past on yahoo answers and the community forum. You can have as many accounts as you like, but you cannot use them to spam or troll or amass points. Simple. - MARGARET CgebLv 51 decade ago
maybe i am being thick but why does anyone want more than 1 what is the point of having more than 1

And you can prove this how?
They give themselves the points whoop de doo. Then what do they do with them.To me it just sounds like you don't get many best answers and your a bit put out by that. Personally have have better things to be worried about than people on here.
