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 :))
