Edna Bambrick is the name of an older age woman that often comes to this site with every chance she has. Supposedly, she mostly comes on to report any violations whatsoever on anyone she can. As I heard, the reason why she does it is because she feels as if she is making the Internet safe. After a while, she became the most popular individual (celebrity) on this site because she was the most hated as well. Many people then tried to report on her with any reason[s] they can find whatsoever and I believe they succeeded in it. Yet, it didn't stop there, because her celebrity status continued on within the site, even though she might have been suspended from here. As a comical sense, some people thought it would be humorous to impersonate her on the site by creating screennames with her name as it, also her picture included as well. Not long after, it got out of control, because it sparked the 'Edna Phenomena', whereby many more users followed in-step by replicating the same antics as the original pranksters. This is when many 'Edna imposters'; sprung up all throughout the site, as it continues still, thus creating a cult. Yahoo! had taken the action by suspending as many suspicious Yahoo! Answers accounts that is the sole intent of impersonating Edna. Yahoo! did the same as well with questions pertaining to the subject of Edna. There are many of the 'Edna imposters' remaining somewhere out there parading around while impersonating Edna. Also, it continues that many people who do not know who Edna is, asks about the whole 'Edna phenomena'. That is so far all I know about the whole phenomena.

I think thousands of people asked this question in the past 5 minutes, including me, lol... Some lady who reports everybody. A whole bunch of people are impersonating her, like 20 or more people from what I've seen. Soon this sight will be full of different versions of EDNA!

Edna is the lady who uses my desk here at the office when I am not at work. She wears a sweater and tinted glasses and she is full of helpful hints.

It used to troll the message boards reporting (at least that is what it kept saying) everyone. It thought it was the Yahoo TOS compliance officer. It spawned numerous copycats with similar sounding names (Bamdick, bumdick, bumbrick, buttbrick, etc.). Now it has moved on to this site. It is hilarious but I would ignore it .

Some kind of raving maniac with nothing better to do. My guess is it's someone who got reported for bad language a bunch of times, is fed up, and is just venting. Ignore him or her, and whoever it is will go away and get a hobby or a real life.
