As long as that's made clear up front, OK. It might make it tougher for online support communities within kbin. Even if you used an alternate account, you wouldn't be able to share anything too personal. On the other hand, maybe kbin is saying that's a responsibility they can't take on. They can always link to external support sites I suppose.

Why would votes being public make it so that alt accounts (throwaways) would be less effective than they were on reddit or any other public forum?
