Hey!
The "Search" window at the top of the forum, when entering a username, only finds that username if there is a post listing his name.
I've also tried the advanced function and added a name under "User name:", a newly created account (buyer of mine) with only 2 posts and I got no results. So from what I can see, it doesn't work as far as searching for users goes. Unless there is another way to go through the searching process faster.
Also, I go through the "Reviews, Disputes and Scammers" forum often just to get a sense of what's going on. What I've noticed is that many people get banned, for obvious reasons. I've discovered that some - if not many - get banned without having a dispute or a scam post made on their name open. This leads to seeing banned people inside threads but not knowing why they got banned. This also affects sellers that have posts inside their thread done by people that are now
BANNED because possible customers see them and they don't know wether or not their ban is in any way related to that thread or seller. Not having a negative feedback is not enough as far as this goes.
Suggestions:
1. Make search function work so that it finds usernames and so that it leads to that username's profile.
2. Add a sub-tab, like "User's legal informations" - or something of sorts - where mods/admins can post a reason for the suspension and/or link to the dispute thread.
Let me know what ya think!
