Best practices for deceased community members

These are the steps I have used for my forum.

I created an In Memoriam Group. The group is set up with a black ribbon flair, which is added to the member’s avatar.

When a member passes away, I do the following:

Admin > Users page for the person.

  1. I set their trust level to 0
  2. I set thier Group to the inmemoriam group.

Under the public profile page => Preferences => Emails

  1. I change all options to Never
  2. Uncheck the option for activity summary

Under the public profile page => Preferences => Notifications

  1. Change notifications to Never
  2. Uncheck the box for notify when someone shares a link.
  3. Disable any live notifications

Under the public profile page => Preferences => Users

  1. Uncheck - Allow other users to send me personal messages and chat direct messages.

This will prevent any emails or notifications and prevent users from messaging the deceased member.

Hopefully this helps someone in a similar perspective.
