/me goes and creates 20 new accounts so I can ask embarrassing stupid questions. Otherwise I get rejected from a job because I asked where to find a setting in Visual Studio while claiming to have N years experience

Sounds like a lot more work than just answering a bunch of genuine questions.

yeah but you are guaranteed 20 up votes and the selected answer points too. Basically the system is to easy to game since it is completely anonymous.

If only there were a way to detect accounts that are always upvoted by the same group of accounts...

I think they do have a system in place that detects "upvoted answers by same user, only, so many times"

Yes, but when the company you're trying to join sees you answering a bunch of retarded questions...
