Memorial of Trace Morales known as @withouta3 🪦

Trace Morales Lost many of his games due to timeouts, he was in the hospital for weeks so he’s timeouts were justified. One day we noticed he hadn’t logged into his account in quite some time and because of his inactivity along with the timeouts he was banned from our club here at Bag End’s. A decision I will regret for the rest of my days 😔

And also his fundraiser for his funeral https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-honor-trace-morales-memory 

‘ We are heartbroken to share that my beloved uncle Trace Morales was tragically hit by a car while crossing western to go to the convenience store for his daily tea, and he has passed away unexpectedly. He was a kind, loving person who touched the lives of everyone around him. In this difficult time, our family is facing unexpected expenses related to his passing. We are seeking support to help cover funeral costs and other related expenses. Any contribution, no matter how small, would mean the world to us and help us honor his memory. Thank you for your kindness and support during this heartbreaking time. ‘

Rest in peace, this is a tragedy, a memorial post of the announcement will be on the forum if anyone wants to say something. 

Regards Tony

A tragic and heartbreaking situation. It makes me reflect on the things i can do better in this season of charity and giving. May he rest in peace.

What tragedy... I don't want to know how many are alone, and die alnoe, and no one finds them... we only see the games time out.
I once had it with a friend, we played many games. Then he stopped moving and timed out. I didn't ask... maybe he was on vacation and would come back? I had many games running and "moved on".
Some weeks later, his wife wrote he can't play anymore.

A practical hint for group admins: If you see inactive members - timing out, not join games, no comments or voting in VC anymore - , you can PM them and then watch the Last Online date. Then kick or ban only these who come back on the site, but don't care of your group.
And you can unban players, so at least Trace Morales disappears from the Banned Players list.

I tried to unban him but couldn’t find the list of banned players.

It's in "Manage members", at the bottom of the sort criteria of the members.

Thanks! 🙏🏻
