Why do some websites falsely accuse certain members of being somebody else's sockpuppets when I know for a fact they are not?
I have seen this problem on more than one website over the last few years, and they tend to forget the fact that I personally know the people they are accusing, so why does this happen?

Sorry about the description. It reads: "I have seen this problem on more than one website over the last few years, and they tend to forget the fact that I personally know the people they are accusing, so why does this happen?"

Human nature. Demonize those who disagree with you.

Bootsiebaby Hello, Dan. You are the new admin guy here, aren't you? Do you have any plans to install a private message system on here? We desperately need one. The topic of this question was an ongoing issue on the old Answerbag site and I want to make sure it doesn't continue on this new Answerbag. It wasn't about people demonising others who disagreed, it was about people being allowed to post false information about other members and getting away with it while innocent members were placed in the penalty box for other people's violations (and sometimes even for nonexistent violations) partly because of lies posted by certain members with personal grudges and partly because of gross misconduct on the part of the old site's staff and community leaders. As soon as we have a private message system on here, Dan, I will message you and tell you the full story, and hopefully there will not be any more drama caused by all this.
