Banned Members

I was curious if there was ever a way to figure out why or how a member got banned. I have someone who is wanting to purchase from me who upon doing research has been banned. All previous posts seemed legit and I couldn't find any kind of reason for being banned, but nonetheless is still concerning. At the same time, I would hate to lose a deal that makes sense over being banned on a forum. Anyone have any info or provide any guidance? Thanks!

Take caution my friend. Banned people are most likely bad people.

Maybe send a private message to a moderator? Banned people could have done something serious or something harmless like get into a heated argument or pissed off a mod. This should be done in private with a moderator and ask if they’re allowed to share.

Although I suppose there are many reasons someone could be banned. When I first joined I bumped a sales post too quickly and was threatened to be banned. Instead they gave me 3 infraction points which is a shame as it was an accident.

No, TRF does not comment on banned members, unless the offense is particularly egregious.

Thanks, Guys. Not extremely helpful, but maybe I just wait for the right buyer, haha.

If he were a serious buyer he’d find a way to contact you again.

Don't know for sure, but the Mods probably saved you from starting a new thread that we all hate to read about.

I hear that a member could be banned for posting pictures of a fake Rolex or for trying to sell a fake in the classifieds section.
