RIP threads

[Skajo]

I'm not going to write an essay on what I think but the only reason these should be made if the person who died either;

• is famous
• used Habbo / HabboxForum
• other specific things that I can't think about at the moment

To be fair, I don't want to know if someone's grandma's died because to be fair, it's natural. My grandma's going to die eventually because she's old and that's what old people do - sorry to be so blunt but it's the truth.

Anyway, call me insensative but it's just what I think. It's a waste of a thread because if no-one knew, it wouldn't affect them (not that it does after being told that either).

Only a thought.

I never corrected his spelling; there was nothing wrong with it.

all people say is rip for extra post count. if you've noticed i never reply in such threads because if I say rip I won't mean it because I have no idea who the person is

[Caution]

Fair enough if it was in spam, but it was in discuss anything. I don't think they should be allowed outside of spam unless, as you said it's someone who's famous or whatever. It is a bit stupid saying R.I.P when you don't know them, I know I'm contradicting myself but I just done it to be respectful rly.

I don't think spam would be appropriate. Discuss anything is exactly that if its a constructive thread. My view is that members can post in teen life about their problems so why can't they post RIP threads of people that meant a lot to them. This is a community so we should support members in times of need which amongst other things could be the loss of of a loved one or close friend. Geraint if you think somebody has posted an RIP thread just for post count then
there is always the option of reporting it.

If people want to create them then I fail to see how it affects you. Geraint, saying people post in them for post count is ludicrous. I would do it to be polite. Say for example a user has posted "R.I.P. George" or what have you and nobody replied, that'd make them feel worse. I don't want people to feel bad. Maybe you've had no family deaths, but they aren't fun. I personally would never post something so personal on this forum because none of you know my family (some exceptions josh and dan etc) so although you might be sad for me that my Grandad has passed away or whatever you won't really care.

What if the person has nobody else to talk and uses the internet to "escape" and wants to talk about it on here. Can you blame them? No, not really it's a way of letting their feelings out. I really don't see how they harm anyone.

If someone wants to pay their respects to someone they have lost, then they have every right to do so.

I find it quite harsh that this thread was even made, who are you to tell people that they can't say goodbye to people they have lost.
