The reason for suspension is probably the quotes in her name. A Google engineer on g+ posted that you should not have any special characters in your name to avoid getting suspended.


Then why does G+ allow you to have quotes in your name?

This is absurd.


>Then why does G+ allow you to have quotes in your name?

Because it's still in beta.

>This is absurd.

No it isn't.


Yeah it kind of is. Google has a lot of resources. I still don't know if their strategy of long running public betas is marketing or a true inability to start with something much better then a beta version.

If it's marketing this, quotes in your name stuff, is not funny.

If it's a true inability to iterate and scale without a public beta, well they are not a start-up, it is kind of absurd.


They went from a few thousand to 10 Million users in about 30 days.

Of course there are going to be little hickups like this. The problem is already fixed. How is that absurd?


"The reason for suspension is probably the quotes in her name."

I think the profile previously said "Adafruit Industries." You can still see that name in Bing.
