Obituaries - Your Condolences
Quick find code: 278-279-861-66175990
Greetings. You say you found 31 threads. Thats over 13 months total so thats 2.3 threads per month. Less then 1 thread per 12-13 days. Couldn't be bothered to do the maths so guessed.
It's not that bad really speaking. We get a rush now and then with 2-3 at the same time. The threads die within a week or less (bad pun).
I see no reason for a sticky thread.
CM Staff can't edit it as that would mean the F-Mods can't do it any more. So thats the thread dead. Another bad pun.
It has been discussed by Jagex. CM staff and F-Mods and as you can see no sticky thread or no banning them. Jagex are happy for now for them to continue. Comprehensive Account Security

Hey, Fifi. Thanks for posting here.

I don't view the current way as being spammy - I too agree that as of right now, it hasn't gotten to a point where these threads have caused a great deal of spam; however, if you do check the first page of Off-Topic, there are three RIP threads. These could have been combined and added to the sticky that's being proposed. Instead of having to post on three different threads to offer my condolences, I could have done so on one thread and probably on one post. I'm unable to do that right now with these three different threads.

It would only become a problem if people took it upon themselves to deliberately cause mischief by making RIP threads about persons who are virtually unknown by others, or entirely unknown (i.e. RIP George - my second cousin's adopted son ... kind of thing....). I'm so glad this hasn't been the case. As far as I am aware, all the RIP threads that I have read have been of celebrities/famous people that have perished. I did, however, suggest the ability for forumers to express their thoughts on pets/animals within the sticky, if it were allowed.

On the other hand it would keep all the dead people in one place and dispense with any annoyance for people who find RIP threads to be an issue. Although I daresay some folk would/might see it as inappropriate to have an Obituary thread, for this or that reason. I see this point and I believe that if someone were to disagree with such a sticky being available, they are more than welcome to never post on it, much like those that disagree with the current RIP threads never engage with them.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Fifi

Hi, Tuffty. Thanks for posting.

Yea, that's correct. The point I was trying to make is that instead of having 31 threads for 31 different people that have died, these could have been contained within a sticky. Furthermore, instead of each thread
dying
, we could keep its history within a sticky.

That's why I added this as a downside to your comment regarding a sticky being edited out. If a CM edits the thread, then you guys can't do it. That's why I suggested a universal title so that F-Mods or CMs do not have to continuously edit the title every single time someone dies.

I still believe it does not hurt to see what the community thinks of this idea and that's why I decided to create this thread to gather such thoughts. Additionally, I wanted to clarify that I am not suggesting for these to be banned, per se, but for the RIP threads to be converted into one, sticky thread where all the thoughts/prayers/condolences may be shared.
Thank you, Tuffty
