Lets assume a very reputable member on the forums is asking to be payed first before he ships a product.
Or if he is asking for a loan and is given a big loan of BTC.
He agrees to pay you back, with interest.

Now assuming, what would happen if he died the following night?
Since he is dead he would never be able to pay your loan back,
and you and all the other members would never know?

Assuming your family doesn't know about bitcoins, and only you do.

He would have all the qualities of being a scammer? No communications,
No information, no pay-date, or any post that shows willingness to pay it.
Wouldn't it fit all the qualities of a scammer?

Would this account be flagged as a scammer after a month or two?
And then be left like that in the dust forever?

What exactly would happen?

After all people do win the lottery, and dying on a given day is more likely to happen
then you ever hitting the lottery jackpot in your given lifetime. So its not impossible.

I'm not sure. How long does AmazingRando stay quiet while not paying?
