I'm looking at errors on AVForums and one which crops up a lot (thousands) is Access Denied when visiting member profile pages when the members have set their profile page to private or if they have been banned.
Example:
https://www.avforums.com/members/mjcairney.29195/
The link to that prfile page is in the postbit here https://www.avforums.com/threads/lg-oled-2017-discussion-b7-c7-e7-g7-w7.2063677/#post-24370856
and looks like this
Should links to members' profile pages be set to rel=nofollow in these circumstances?
Perhaps the link should be disabled for viewers without permission to view?
