I usually post multiple solutions in one answer, but I believe I probably have been broken this convention once or twice. My usual reasoning has been that I don't "need" any further rep, as I'm not here for the points, I'm here to help as many people as I can; the score just follows logically. However, I believe that posting multiple answers with one solution each would solve a problem that I've noticed with multi-solution answers: if the answer is accepted, you don't know which solution the original poster decided to go with, which reduces the value of that answer for future visitors. I believe that the site would benefit from a one-solution-per-answer policy, and it's one that I would adopt for future answers if the community agrees with me. This meta question appears to agree that we should generally encourage multiple answers if the question warrants it.
