I made a sock, but when I tried to access it's profile page to edit in the fact it is a sock, it threw an error.

The problem is spreading, I just tried to access my meta profile (for fredley) and got the same(?) error. Main profile for fredley still accessible.– fredley ModCommented Apr 21, 2015 at 14:26

All meta sites except meta.stackexchange using the new profile seem to have the same problem.– Unionhawk ModCommented Apr 21, 2015 at 14:32

1@Unionhawk I hope I didn't cause this...– fredley ModCommented Apr 21, 2015 at 14:32

I can't access my own profile anymore either, but can access others, including fredleys and his sock's.– John the GreenCommented Apr 21, 2015 at 14:36

seems to be fixed now– GodEmperorDuneCommented Apr 21, 2015 at 14:43

1@fredley, ignore my ignorance, but what is a sock? (other than the thing you put on your foot)– angussidneyCommented Apr 22, 2015 at 5:15
-
@AngusAtkinson By sock, he means something similar to a sockpuppet. Essentially, it is a fake user controlled by fredley. Unlike a normal sockpuppet, this one is not particularly deceptive.– ken.ganongCommented Apr 23, 2015 at 18:28

@ken.ganong But how could that be useful? Wouldn't it just get him banned for alt accounts? Or is it for moderation purposes?– angussidneyCommented Apr 24, 2015 at 23:07
-
@AngusAtkinson His intention was to use it for testing what things look like for a non-moderator user. fredley mentioned his intention on doing so as a comment on this previous meta question.– ken.ganongCommented Apr 25, 2015 at 3:03

@ken.ganong Ahh. Thankyou. That has clarified it.– angussidneyCommented Apr 25, 2015 at 3:22
