It's really been closed since Cataclysm...
I've had a few people asking me this lately and it's my own fault for never posting about it, but we're not doing the rated arena forum anymore. It's currently in a read only state only accessible to those that were granted access last season.
The original intent of the Rated Arena forum was to give the high rated multiboxers a place to share their super duper zomg gonad sekrets of winning. I was originally against this as I'm not a fan of closing off parts of the site to the rest of the community. But I was led to believe more than 1 of the high rated 5s multiboxers would be sharing some really good content with the rest of the PvP boxers, but only if it was in a closed off section. Against my better judgement i went along with it. It was a painful and tedious vetting process as well since the access to the forum was all handled manually by me. Well, long story a little shorter, the people who pushed so hard for the forum never held up their end of the agreement and nothing of substantial value was ever discussed / shared. There was some good discussion there though, some good theory of counter comps but there wasn't anything G14 Classified (As Fenril likes to say) that couldn't have been publicly discussed in the PvP forum.
I won't be adding anymore members to the Rated Arena user group. Those that have it will continue to have it and will continue to have the option of displaying their name in red if they choose.
TL;DR: No, you can't have your name in red (unless you already have it)
