I asked a question on Stack Overflow: [Refactoring and creating seperate methods][1]. I want to award my bounty to [this answer][2] by user [NetMage][3] However, my Stack Overflow account is suspended recently for 7 days, and the suspension still has 5 more days to end.And I know I can't vote, ask, answer or comment as pointed on [A Day in the Penalty Box][4] by [Mr.Atwood][5] with the sentence below. > You will be unable to vote, ask, answer, or comment. I couldn't find anything about not being able to *accept an answer* or *award bounty* so I tried to accept the mentioned answer above and award my bounty to it and I got a > Suspended users cannot vote rejection which can be seen below with a screenshot. ![Suspended users cannot vote screenshot][6] I know this > If you do not award your bounty within 7 days, the highest voted > answer created after the bounty started with at least 2 upvotes will > be awarded half the bounty amount. from [FAQ-Bounty][7]. None of the answer given to my question is upvoted and the answer I mentioned is not the oldest one after the bounty started so it won't be awarded by community. What can I do? (except being a good guy and not get suspended :)) [1]: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6606967/refactoring-and-creating-seperate-methods [2]: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6606967/refactoring-and-creating-seperate-methods/6824211#6824211 [3]: https://stackoverflow.com/users/257038/netmage [4]: http://blog.stackoverflow.com/2009/04/a-day-in-the-penalty-box/ [5]: https://stackoverflow.com/users/1/jeff-atwood [6]: https://i.sstatic.net/wfV94.jpg [7]: https://stackoverflow.com/faq#bounty
