What happen after a death of a forum member is related to what was done by that member in the forum: contributions, active loan must be repaid, scam accusations ...
Not all death cases will be reported and verified as many of us don't know other members in person. We just know them via the forum, the Internet and that's all we know about each other. To verify death cases, it requires more information, more contact in person and mostly we don't have it.
After a forum member passed away, if the member has great net-effect and contributions, the head admin (theymos/ Cyrus) can give some special treatments as follow
- A special badge like In Memoriam
- Lock that account permanently for security reason like what were done for accounts of satoshi and Lauda
- Investigate further like case of paraipan
Community members can keep investigation going with scammers who suddenly passed away or faked their deaths as well as flow of scam money.
