Question About a Bid

    Hey Guys

    I'm running a live auction in the adult section, and I just received a bid from someone whose name appears in red and clicking on his name will not allow me to see any information about him. Why would this be? I'm a premium member. It seems hard to believe that people would be able to make bids while being able to block any information about themselves.

    Thanks

    A red username usually means they've been banned from the forums - it should say 'banned' under their username if you go to their profile page.

    It doesn't say anything about being banned. When I click on the name the information says:

    1) Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
    2) Certain forums have specific requirements for posting, which you can find here.
    3) Some areas (for example premium articles) are only available to premium members.
    4) If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

    And is it possible for a banned person to bid? I checked the site right after I got the email telling me a new bid had been placed and his name was already in red. That would mean banned people can bid or he was banned immediately after placing the bid....?

    The user was banned, but many times I've seen it happen that a user is banned while they are still on the site posting and placing bids and they don't even realize themselves they are banned until they logout and then try to log back in again.

    This bid has been automatically removed....looks like it just took a little time. Thanks for your responses.
