Birthday announcements

[Old Grumpy]

Think its a bit creepy wishing happy Birthday to Anzron as with other members who have sadly passed on. Couldnt this be monitored?

I was a bit confused about where you were coming from on this one, Val - but then I stumbled upon this:

How do you suggest this can be monitored? UM Forum has close to 40,000 members - many of who are no doubt Bots. But even within the regular posting membership, how can Admin closely check this?

#Well Jack they seem to be able to suspend or even ban some members without problems so surely deleting the demised shouldnt be to difficult.

Well Val - how is Admin supposed to know who is demised?

And I am quite sure Ronnie would strongly object to any suggestion that he be "deleted".

Don't provide the forum with your date of birth.

Now they just need to figure out who is demised. Example, if I died how whould they know, no members, except one, know me.

Well Jack we do have an obituaries column which if confined to its title heading of friends and loved ones would be easy. Instead of that it is full of long forgotten
singers ,footballers even politicians that most of us have never met yet been friends with , which if they qualify as famous could all be read about in numerous periodicals all on line .

I'm currently estimating about 20 to 30!

As to the OP:-
As far as I'm concerned obituaries are fine but birthdays = Who cares??

Shouldn't UM's delete their profile if they die? Just cluttering up the site, it's like they don't care anymore
