Well, I guess you've been filled in on why she was suspended. At first, I could kind of understand Yahoo's point of view. Keep reading folks, don't call for my hanging yet!!
Don't get me wrong - I think 'George' aka Becky is fantastic, and provided us with great entertainment. However, a lot of her questions were nonsensical, as she herself cheerfully admitted. That does seem to go against Yahoo's vague T&Cs.
That was before I saw some very insulting questions and many fairly vile answers about her. As a Level 5 I am hardly naive about the nature of this place, but I was still shocked. One person claimed to have reported George several hundred times, out of sheer spite, as part of a campaign against her. I started to wonder what was going on when a few questions that were posted out of genuine support for George got removed, but the far more abusive ones weren't deleted.
I know it needs to be one rule for everybody - that's only fair - and I agree that we all should follow the T&C's. Still, the anti-George campaign actually quite upset me, although I don't know her very well. It is the viciousness and the sheer venom of her detractors' rants that got to me.

It's a big pink hippo. Need I say more.We all loved her. She was something special. Then, one day she was just gone. Some say she drowned in her own pond of self pity. I say she just got tired of answering non hippo questions. Either way, we love her and we miss her. She was one special hippo!

I felt they were right initially to suspend but I didn't fid out the facts until later. Poor George didn't do any harm but as was said, her bullies are still here. I miss you Hippo!!
