Perhaps the new abuse filter can be used to warn
people apparently
claiming
a death against falsely making such a claim (remind them of the need for
reliable sources) and at least log possible claims so they can be
reviewed.
That sounds way into and against "Assume Good Faith". I doubt that anyone
who finds an obituary (or attends a funeral and is forced to find an
obituary) will appreciate automation for cancelling their account. It just
does not seem like a process that can be automatic. In the worst case,
someone else will find the obituary and end up supporting an unblock motion,
based upon happening to see a short edit war. Screw automation.
Blocking? where did you get that from all WODUP suggested was to have
something like a editnotice telling them what to do and also have a
log of all the changes like that so they can be easily reviewed [and
vandalism easily caught if thats the case].
