Thanks theymos, Bruno has VIP status & a custom title

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

We have lost Bruno, Zepher, Hal and many others. All of these users are a big part of our community but they are no more with us, resting in peace for good. Brouno died just three days ago. RIP dear Brother.

The idea came from pugman

I know this won't help change anything, but can Bruno's accounts be changed to VIP status and can admins protect it so no one tries to hack it and use it for awful purposes.

Formal plead, please @admins.

And this is my thinking:

Or may be something else like: Late, Eternity, RIP. A custom title dedicated to them.

What do you all think? Most importantly you theymos.

Thanks

Edit:
We have it, thanks theymos

I support it.

I think it is great and those accounts of well known users who passed away should be locked.

I remembered that I read somewhere about such lock treatment on the account of satoshi. To avoid any future abuse from bad guys.
I found that post.

Do you think "satoshi" will ever just randomly log in one day and post something?

His account is locked, so no. If he wants to claim his account, he'll have to contact me with a PGP signature.

[snipie]

A poll may be a good idea too to see how many supports this idea.
Personally I support it in this case. If a bitcointalker has passed away (+proof?), why not mentioning it in a special topic with a small description + locking the account + custom title

[Coyster]

why not, I support this idea, the title would act like a wreath for such users who have contributed so much to the forum and now no more, their account rightfully should stand out(and be locked as well)

The idea is not a bad one think about the future some people can play pranks with it. If someone is away for so long and someone cook up something that looks real and that custom is placed on the account then the person returns and it causes commotion.

The custom title would not go to just any user, it's going to work for just established users, and it's not given on the basis of long period of inactivity, the users OP referenced are confirmed to be either deceased(Bruno, Hal, etc)or no longer on the forum(like satoshi).

[DaCryptoRaccoon]

This is very sad news indeed he was a very nice community member I'm sure many here will miss him, another good man down.

Rest in peace Bruno and my condolences to his family at this tough time.

I would also support the above request.

[Jawhead999]

Oh man... this is really sad news. Honestly i didn't know about bruno, but from read his history by @nutildah, he his really great members in this forum.
Everyone will miss him from his contribution about fighting about scammer.

A poll may be a good idea too to see how many supports this idea.

Hmm, IMO I believe everyone will support that's idea since there is nothing wrong or bad thing.

I hope @theymos will do this idea

Edit :

Can someone tell me which Bruno account?

Here the account Phinnaeus Gage

[skarais]

First, this is unpleasant news because comunity has lost people who have been considered good for years separated by death. I hope that his family will be given patience and fortitude. I am sure no one wants to let someone who has a big contribution to the community go forever, but we must realize that everyone who is here will die someday.

I support the idea conveyed by the OP because with this special title everyone will know that the real Bruno is dead and that a special title like that will protect his account from hacking or other things that could endanger the bitcoin community.

Can someone tell me which Bruno account? Sorry, I just knew him. Bruno account: Phinnaeus Gage

This is Bruno’s main account - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24792

In response to the OP, yeah let’s get him a customised title & may he rest in peace. Such a shame, enjoy your time up there big man.

[mole0815]

I also find the proposal very good.
What sad circumstances these are. Would it be good if the affected accounts were lured and marked for eternity. In quiet remembrance

[DaCryptoRaccoon]

Just a quick after thought it may also be an idea to leave it for a set period of time on the off-chance he has left his family the login info for the account I know this is what I would do under the circumstances.

Brouno died just three days ago. RIP dear Brother.

Ah, fuck.  I thought he might have more time than that based on what he posted.  That sucks.

I'd definitely not be opposed to an honorary rank for deceased members, though bestowing one upon death would essentially be a judgement call about their popularity on the forum, and I'm not sure who'd make that call--I'm sure Zepher and Bruno would be worthy, but how about if some troll like cryptohunter was confirmed dead?  Know what I mean?  Seems like it could be a sticky situation.

The judgement call will be taken by DT 1 and DT 2 members and if that happens it will be a fair decision and there wont be any difference of opinion, in my opinion Hal, Zepher and Bruno should be given a honorary rank.

My rank suggestion is Eternal or Immortal. RIP

[Chrystora123]

snip..

one of the good members left again..  The custom title idea is a very good one but it seems like a special thread for good members who have died in this forum must be created.  @BitcoinGirl.Club.. You are a good person, I am very respectful and proud of you for your struggle with Bruno, may God repay your kindness

Bruno dead? This is confirmed 100%

This is truly terrible news. I have not seen bruno posting for a long time.
I heard suchmoon was holding his account?
Bruno was a real legend and great scam hunter. I believe it was actually cryptohunter that nominated  bruno for most brilliant character on this forum actually.  The title bruno won? Correct me if i am wrong.

Bruno should be entered into a hall of fame for those that have made an out standing difference here. His contribution was noted by crytohunter as the best scam hunter here and a real enthusiast and bruno said he was flattered and thanked him at such recognition in public.

Cryptohunter ?who also fought single handed the biggest scam here and forced them to offer a 2 000 000 000 usd compensation offer to the forum. Who many have stated prevented that scheme knocking bitcoin from top spot on coinmarket cap. Along with his selfless fighting against scammers her on DT including the very same scammer lauda who lied and tried to pump that scam that could have dethroned bitcoin?  The pharmacist laudas lacky and racist sig spammer and fellow supporter of that scammer who is here now calling other real lengends with great achievements trolls while shielding scammers and pushing scams himself?

Zephyr who? Not heard of this member i dont think
Pharmacist?
Lauda?

Tell me about the achievements they have made here. Not scamming achievements of course.

Lol at the judgement of dirty turds 1 or dirty turds 2?

Bring their objective achievements and see if they stand up to scrutiny.

The work bruno did on some huge ico scams and crushed their momentum was HUGE.

The others mentioned except cryptohunter I never heard of them? Can't  just put anyone who dies in the hall of fame or it becomes pointless

People that have made a real difference should be remembered here. Bruno is certainly one of them.

Give bruno special title and hall of fame. I would not support that for many other members.

[acroman08]

it would also be nice to have a dedicated thread (in which where everything that they have contributed to the forum is listed) to the valued members of this forum who have passed away or to those who have been inactive from the forum for a long time. having that thread would forever remember the things that they have done for the betterment of this forum, bitcoin and the community surrounding it.

[NeuroticFish]

Yup, it's a great idea, I also support it.
I was not close to any of them, but they were important / known members of the community and deserve this.

R.I.P. 

[dkbit98]

I am also supporting this idea for custom title.
Even if someone from their family can possibly use their bitcointalk accounts, it should be added some special title to honor them,
if we have confirmation of them passing away.

For temporary solution I suggest that BPIP extension and website add this option, if @suchmoon and @ibminer agrees.

It be better together with a badge related to a deceased person, might be a black ribbon? under the username just like on satoshi, and those who won on the previous 10th anniversary of bitcointalk, and same thing, the color of the coins might be changed as well.

[pugman]

Wait what the hell. Zepher passed away as well?? oh my dear goodness. I didn't know about this until now.
Also, can we have an avatar we all can wear for Bruno? Let us all wear a form of Black ribbon or something for Bruno. Also, if a rank is not possible, there could always be a badge. I know Hal has a badge like that. <sup>[1]

I made a quick sketch of what the badge could look like, I hope this is not taken as something offensive, since it was not my intention.



It's a small tombstone with the Bitcoin logo embedded, representing a fallen member of the community. It could be implemented with the number of coins the user had on their rank at the moment in black (VIP/Donator/Legendary could still mantain the purple/green/blue half coin). The black ribbon does also seem like a great idea
