What does the “accept rate” mean?

I have accepted every answer and still have accept value 0%. Why is this the case?

See meta-zero-acceptance-rate or metaquestion-accept-rate-does-not-work-correctly. The thing which works similar to stackoverflow is the search! Search: accept rate. ;-)

I think your accept rate increases when someone ask a question, you provide an answer and they accept your answer.

It does not really make sense. The current "accept rate" only tells you how often someone replies to people, especially newbies, who don't understand how to use this system. The other definition would warn you of those people.
