She's been off the site as much as she has been on it recently. Due to alerts and juries hiding her posts, she's often on timeout from posting. So, she doesn't really generate lots of traffic, and was only allowed back on during a timeout because her husband died, so she could post something about that.

I can't fault the admins for cutting her a break for such a thing. Lots of others get way more views and recs than her posts do. I think you're incorrect in your assessment, frankly. It was a nice gesture on the part of the admins to let her post about her loss. I sure wouldn't fault them for that.

I think it's odd that some people have done so.
