D, is it that big a deal?

It's not that big of a deal, but being modded isn't that big of a deal either. Plus the Who? people are pretty annoying tbh, and the modding system should typically try to eliminate things that are seen as annoying tbh

*shrugs*

If you make an "X person died" topic, you can always give a short little blurb about who they were.

I'm sure that would cut down on this.

Eh, leaning towards C tbh.

People just often use that to shitpost/be a mild troll. If people were really curious then they would have read the topic to get a better idea or at least used google.

Now if they are like "Who's that? Never heard of that person." then that's alright.

Because I've seen the name Etika everywhere on the internet with absolutely no context as to who it was. And I had no idea who it was until I looked it up myself. Not everyone knows wtf internet celebrities are as oppose to posting "RIP Prince" 3 years ago.

I think so. There's a difference between "Who?" and "I'm sorry about this person's death but he/she is unknown to me. Can someone better explain who the person is?".

I agree.

If people genuinely cared about finding out who it is, they can look it up.
It feels and looks really disrespectful to go to a topic where people are hurt and to ask that.

Its not genuine most of the time. In the Etika topics people said who he was like 50 times and then more people kept coming in and posting who? They just want to shit post

Yea I agree. They could just google it if they didn't know who the person was. Or just not post if the person who died is someone they don't know.

Yeah.

If not for the disrespect of the dead, then for being low effort trolling. Trolls should be entertaining, not just pricks.

CE can just as easily explain who anyone is but that's not what matters. What matters is the obvious agenda behind asking who the person is.

Same for any celebrity topic, even if they're not dead. Posting "who?" takes more effort that simply googling the name, and a TC shouldn't need to "sell" them to you like some talent agent.

Anyone who wants to make any topic should at least be responsible enough to clearly articulate what the discussion will be about and continue to guide the thread to stay on that path. Anything less is baiting. And that should be moddable.
