The standard block reason is called "abusing multiple accounts", which means there are uses that are not abuse.

For example, it's possible that you have a second account for a bot, or for testing purposes; in both cases you'd have to clearly identify it as an alt account of your main. I've also heard people sometimes have them to contribute on different types of wikis - wikis you wouldn't want your main to be associated with, or that require a certain name for roleplay purposes.

What isn't allowed is using a second account to bypass a block (whether you think it's justified or not), influence a discussion by pretending to be two different people, swaying a vote, impersonating another user, vandalizing, and more.

There are of course other scenarios that fit in either of these two camps. These are just the most common.
