What is a bulk account? I don't see mention of it on the site guidelines or anywhere else.

I personally don't want to have an identity on the web. If that's against the rules could you kindly point it out to me? That's definitely something I'd be interested in learning about.

By bulk account I mean making numerous accounts, each of which is used for a few comments and then discarded.

It's not in the guidelines yet but it will make it in there eventually. In the meantime, it's against the rules in the sense that we don't allow it, and ban accounts that do it, for the reason I explained above.
