Thanks theymos, Bruno has VIP status & a custom title

[cabalism13]

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.

I think this could be better:

It be better together with a badge related to a deceased person, might be a black ribbon?

This has been also a prediction to us in our local board due to the wallets that has been given, the money didn't go out. Its sad that it was just a waste that he wasn't able to use just like what he plan. I sincerely give my condolences  to the family and friends of Bruno. I hope his burial would still be fine even though the money from crypto isn't touched.

Wait what the hell. Zepher passed away as well?? oh my dear goodness. I didn't know about this until now.

I dont think that PG really did not give the private keys to his wallet to receive donations to someone he trusted before he died. I hope he has trusted someone in this matter and all the money he has collected can be used by his family for other purposes. But if PG does not have the opportunity to give his private key to someone he trusts, then all that money will only be in vain. Really this is an unexpected condition.

I support this idea.

Thank you. I edited it. Maybe it because of my phone. I did not check link after making that post.

Perhaps the flag system could be modified to allow the DT to vote on such a designation.

[Upgrade00]

A sort of badge would look nice. Or the account name could be boldened to make it stand out more in a thread.
Also, sending personal messages or creating a flag against such accounts should be disabled to avoid unnecessary activity.

...

Theymos could come up with a list of possible actions and have them voted on. Or maybe a community wide poll with certain restrictions to avoid spamming, just like the one we had during the most iconic thread selection.

The little tombstone icon seems rather playful-- I'm reminded of old shareware rpgs-- for something that should be at least somewhat sombre. Maybe a unicode block instead of an image at all:  █

I didn't know Bruno, but I remember him most by his avatar, which unfortunately I never suspected had anything to do with the disease. Given that he was active on the forum until the last day, and that he wrote messages in very difficult health conditions, I totally agree that the forum should give him some recognition in custom title or badge. I think it's the least that can be done, and it costs nothing but a little effort and time.

After going through his posts, it hit me that it was him who posted several photos of his surgery some time back.

We could create a specific section, Obituary, a thread is opened for each person who sadly dies and therefore there is a full record of his life in the forum and the closest users can say goodbye to the deceased one last time.
It could be divided into two parts, a section for forum members and another section for people related to the world of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

This might be better off as a dedicated thread than a whole subforum.

This is really a nice idea and is implemented by most social medias. There accounts can be achieved, locked and they be given a special badge of honor! This forum is promised to stay for decades, as long or even more than till bitcoin lives. In this way, these people's legacy will be long held!

Can we hear you big man? 😀

[TheBeardedBaby]

I already put in my p.text what I think is most appropriate. It could be used on many different places in a profile.
BTW if you want you can send flowers to Bruno's family...

Really sad news. RIP you Legend.🎗 
For those who want to sent flowers to the family here is a link to the Obituary of Boersma Funeral Home.
I don't know how legit it is the website but looks OK after quick check.

Per his wishes no services and cremation will take place.

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

The logo that you provided in my opinion is very suitable for bruno's account and the word buster starts with letter b which bruno did so many times busting scam projects and Bruno starts with letter b too so, the letter b can be Bruno, Buster and Bitcoin Enthusiast in this forum.

gmaxwell has a point. I believe a custom title would be better than risking trivializing it with a lighthearted icon. I do agree that this is a heartwarming way of saying farewell to our friends, but what would be considered proof for this to be applied? I'm not suggesting Bruno, or any previously deceased members have done this, but would there be an incentive to future users to fake this in order to make their account stand out, and then returning after a while, trying to sell the account or even possibly trying to get out of trade deals. I guess, permanently banning the account when giving the custom title would prevent this.  

I'm terribly sorry to hear the news of Bruno, and wish his family, and friends the best in this difficult time.

Either it will be custom title or badge, I don't see any reasons why it would be bad idea. It's always sad to hear about Bitcointalk member passing away, but that's a life and we can't do anything about it. Members who left their mark in Bitcointalk history, like Bruno or Zepher should be honoured.

The requirement should be that the account is locked so to prevent this kind of incentive. There could also be a requirement that this would only be applied to legendary, high profile accounts who have a long history of contributing to the community.

I would propose that all of Bruno’s publicly known accounts be banned with a ban message saying to contact theymos if his next of kin wants access to his PMs. I think a custom title such as “Bruno” being applied to all his alts that are public would be enough to honor him.

Objectively speaking, I think Bruno contributed enough to deserve some kind of honor, especially considering the number of years he has contributed.

Good idea, there's no room for abuse for this one. Also, there should be proof the person has gone "home", such as in the news or the obituary if this is applied
