Agree to a point but best not to view if they piss you off...it's not like you can open them by accident.
Actually, you can open alot of them by accident, when the subject heading is just the person's name, then you find out they've passed on because the first post just reads RIP

Agree. I open some thinking it's new signing and it's up being some obscure Blues singer who no one on here has ever heard of. Some people must trawl the obituaries to try and make themselves seem cool. Then you get the comments. "Without him there'd never been The Beatles/Stones/Who/Steps"

I think you put that so much better than me. Some of the names are straight out of the Fast Show

I'm pro-death myself. I won't pretend I know who everyone is, but sometimes that in itself can be an education. I think it shows what a diverse bunch we are. For me Storm Thorgerson and Nosher Powell were important threads, but I recognise that others may not know or care who they were. On the other hand I had no idea who Jeff Hanneman was, but he was clearly important to others. I disagree that all of these people should be lumped onto a single thread. I do agree though that strings of "RIP" are a bit odd.
I'm with @Stig. We can moderate as appropriate, but at the end of the day (see what I did there?) don't comment on threads you don't have an interest in and they may just fall away. Simples.
Hahaha why stop there? A `I Wish They Were Dead' thread would really sort the men from the boys. I'd start with that fat bloke from the `Go Compare' adverts. He's acting all apologetic in the latest ones....well it's too late lard-arse, you're on the list!!

May I add any twelve bar blues musicians (sorry Henry, you are probably good mates with Blind Lemon Pie)

I think ,particularly this summer, that if the thread's about a new signing it'll have at least 300 more comments in ten minutes than one about an obscure blues singer.
Can't say I much like the idea of one big RIP thread - there's something even more depressing about the thought of checking into a thread once every day or two to see if anyone I've heard of has died today, rather than just clicking on the occasional name I've heard of.

When you get to my age you'd be opening it to check you're not in it!
