You're totally right but people can mourn here about those who have passed on if they want to and they are free to do so. Whether if a black bar will appear for this individual or if this post is allowed on the front page is another question.

However at this point, the guidelines on this orange site are not fit for purpose anyway. Not even the moderators here follow it and add 'exceptions' to the rule from time to time.
