Player Not Found?

[EDZ]

I have someone who bid on a couple of my animals, but when I click on the Bidder tag I get the message that This player is not found. Is this a glitch?

[Tyke]

who was the bidder, me and my sister have been banned because the rating is too low, i messaged john but he hasent even read it, i sent the message on the 23rd!!

[EDZ]

That's just it. I can't tell who the bidder is because it says Player Not Found. Whoever they are, they bid a mil each on two of my geese.

if it says "player not found" it is because that player's account has been banned. Bans aren't necessarily permanent though.

If you want to find out who the bidder is, click on the Bidder link by the bid. It'll then go to the page that says "player not found". Then take a look at the page's address, and the last few numbers will give the player's id number. It should look something like this:
http://www.sandboxfarm.com/myfarm.php?player_id=29997
Copy that id number, then go to the player search page and paste it into the player id box. When you press search it will come up with the player's name and farm name, but you won't be able to go to their farm.

But how could they place a bid when they are banned? lol.

[EDZ]

Nope. Both of the pages come out like this:

http://www.sandboxfarm.com/myfarm.php

That's it. No #.

i am guessing that deleted acounts, hence the player is gone permanently, i can think that this posible would acure if a player was discovered to have more then one acount, that in case of a ban being lifted it would be on their main acount, and the other acounts would be deleted by the owners as they are illigal

just what i am guessing anyhow, that or permanently baned players which i also can see that they may delete

[EDZ]

But it still puzzles me as to how a 'banned' player can get in and bid.

[Misty Glen]

They probably made the bid before they got banned.

I think that they must have had an increasingly low rating, or something to get them banned, when they placed the bid, and were banned when you went to see who had placed it. This has happened to me before a couple of times.

Why does that link lead to my farm? I haven't been banned and I don't remember bidding on any of your animals.

[Bratterratt]

When I click on the link it brings me to my farm too? What's with that?

If you look at the link, it's to "my farm" so the link will lead to the farm of the person clicking it.
