Would you be willing to go up to a deceased's parents/family to ask them for pixel items? No, I doubt it.
Dude if you want the MP re-stocked just ask for it. No need to go into people's inventories.
Gaia has taken a halo from a "banned" account before and used it as a contest prize. Taking the aftermath into consideration, if Gaia thought it was appropriate then they'll be doing it again. But otherwise the answer you're going to get from your proposal is a big "no"
Actually, I wouldn't have an issue with it. But if you'd asked, you'd know I have a different outlook on such things than most. As well as a result of having some really unpleasant jobs, this would seem tame to me.
And the method I suggested puts the original items to use, instead of using more space in the overall database.
And last time I checked, your name's not orange. I simply made a suggestion. Sorry you don't like it, but it's a suggestion, no more or less. Just as probable as anything else, and just because you feel a bit squeamish about it, doesn't make it invalid.
Wanna keep up this discussion? Because I have a stew I'm trying to eat, and it needs more attention than this does.
It still seems pretty callous to me. "Hey I tracked you down from your son's virtual web page. Since he's gone, can I have his virtual pixel items from GaiaOnline? Oh and while you're at it you need to verify that you are indeed related to the deceased. Thank you!" Just..no man...no.
If you tried to post that proposal in SF it would be recycled. Why? Because Gaia makes it clear that they have already taken these issues into consideration in the FMI sticky. I don't need an orange name to tell you it's not going to fly, especially with a lot of users who are against stripping of old/banned accounts. It's common sense.
A simple message sent to an emergency contact email would suffice, if given 90 days to respond. A link to a page asking if you would like the account to be recycled would do the trick.
It's a Gaia account, not a family heirloom. stare
You realize that takes more staff time to code than simply rereleasing/generating items people want? What's so difficult with you about having Gaia re-generate supply into the MP? Why do inactive/banned accounts have to be tampered with?
