You are referring to the fake accounts - not sock puppets. All the fake accounts are active but have no real user. See, you don't know what you are talking about so you just spout lies.

Few months ago I tried creating an account, had to try a few email providers before one finally worked. When logging in it sort of worked but I could not post or up/down vote anything. Next time I tried it said account was disabled, thanks for explaining in this thread.
What account name did you use? Which account do you expect us to investigate?

Did you report that bug. You could either log in or you couldn't - what does 'it sort of worked' mean? Where did you try to post? Journals can restrict who can post in them. What error messages did you see? Did you receive any emails? If you did, did you respond to them?
If you help us we can help you but, as it stands, this is simply a comment by an AC who has provided no evidence at all that he/she ever successfully created an account.

janrinok is the bug. He is the authoritarian of SoylentNews, and will brook no criticism, or attacks on Nazis, Racists, Mass Murders, Coupon Clippers, Pedophiles, jmorris, or Runaway1956. We need to fix this bug. Purge the janrinok, to save SN. Quickly.

You answer your own questions with such an attitude. Simple account creation should not be difficult, and dealing with hostile admins is a big red flag.

I tried creating a new account a while ago, too. The admin answering emails kept shouting, "You're aristarchus! I know you are! Access denied!" Strange fellow, rather obsessed. One star, would not attempt to subscribe again.

Doctor's orders, jan. They may be in French, but you need to step back from the SN wars, and just admit that aristarchus has won. It will be much better for you, health-wise, and really not give the craven Greek philosopher any advantage. Your interventions have only served to heighten the drama, and drive away all but the most right-wing idiots. VLM, and Dadafoody, swarth in the mire you have left. Please, seek a dignified end, Janrinok. Repudiate the deplorables. It is the least you can do.

I hope janrinok follows his doctor's orders, and detaches himself from the Brexit and MAGA crowd. Would be a shame if he kicked the bucket in a plexiconorum of hatred against non-white Britains. Peace, janrinok.

Nearly all of them? Did you not say more than 20,000? There never will be a SoylentNews effect.
