An upset user of Freelancer.com mentioned in a comment in my previous post that the site suspended his/her account. Could you explain how an account could get suspended?

Willix: An account could get limited (Freelancer’s term for suspended) for many reasons. One reason is for using fake names. I also read the article as well, and I think [that individual] was using a fake name [on his Freelancer account]. Because there’s a difference between the name itself and the aliases that he was using. We thought there might be something dodgy there. But the account was only suspended for a limited time. Consequently, his identification documents were required to validate the user and to prevent fraudulent activities. It usually takes two to four days to get resolved. Once it’s resolved, you are free to withdraw the money.

We have to comply with anti-money laundering laws in Australia. We limit users if there’s something going on with that user – like with the commenter in the article – like having two or three different names.
