Members who have passed away

I wish this site would stop displaying members who are no longer with us at the top of the page.
mrmoose has appeared again and he did pass years ago.
I visited his profile just now and it said - online weeks ago(exact date?) (Know more precisely the last time a user was online.) Get VIP.
mrmoose last posted 4 years ago.
Not right to continue to display deceased former members.

Well, we have had many different senarios in the past where a user is reported dead by 'a friend or relative' popping up on their accoubt and telling us tbey have died. I find this suss... as I know I personally wouldn't leave my SW acc accessable to anyone else! Even if it were genuine, most of us would question. Its happened here a few times for me to know of.
We've had new accounts pop up claiming to be members family/ friend telling us of the users passing..... did we believe them? Where they genuine?
We've even had other members been given access to the deceased persons account (must have been before they died? They knew they were dying??) All very questionable, and as few of us know peoples real names here, even posting their genuine obituary here as proof would not convince the majority of us.
I have one friend here who has access me on other socials who would be able to pass on news if i popped my clogs. Other than that.....i"d just dissapear into cyber space......
