All,

Me and a close friend were having a rather heated debate tonight on the topic of role accounts, and I am hoping you (as a community) can answer my question: 

Why do we ban role accounts? 

I was of the understanding that it was something to do with copyright/legal issues, but it's been a few years since I passed RfA, and I'm struggling to remember the arguments that I once remembered so well. I had a trawl through all the appropriate pages on meta and enwp, and although I could find out that role accounts were blocked, I couldn't see the justification behind it mentioned anywhere

I'm not disagreeing with the policy, but I was wondering if anyone knew the reasoning behind it - and why said reasoning isn't included in the policy pages?

All the best,

Chase
