R.I.P. RarityEQM · 3:13pm Jan 12th, 2021
It's been reported that RarityEQM has passed away by both B-25 and Trick Question.
RarityEQM is someone that shared her thoughts, and stories and opinions honestly and heartfully. She was someone that was kind and would take the time of her really busy days to drop a kind word if you needed it. She was someone that appreciated the time you took to say anything at all to her, and who I really believe did have the best intentions for everyone she met online or otherwise.
I remember that Olden Bronie once told me she'd felt flattered that I had liked her stories... she didn't have to be, she was an excellent writer, and it was my privilege to read the stories I read.
I'll miss reading her blogs, and stories.

May she rest in peace.
I sadly didn't know her but I hope she rests in peace.
What? The site says she just signed on on Sunday!
...Then again, depending on some circumstances, things can move pretty quickly...
I've been following the lovely lady for a long time. She always responded when I said something, and was always happy give a positive word when you needed it. I edited two of her stories, and she was a pleasure to work with.
I'm so sorry to hear she's gone. Rest in Peace, good Rarity.
dang i have read several of her story's i am sad to see a wonderful person leave this earth there are to few left.
May she rest in peace
May she Rest in Peace.
I just hope they don't ban her account like they did to DaemoN67. Our admins really do know how to break the ice, don't they? I'm sorry about what happened, my condolences go out to her and those that were closest to her. I don't know what it was that claimed her life, but I pray for her safe passage to the afterlife.
In my mind, that behavior is no different than what Logan Paul did in Suicide Forest; making a grand spectacle out of them passing and practically mocking them. That is beyond wrong. That is messed up, guys. Banning someone for simply being dead. No, I'm sorry- just no!
R.i.p to RarityEQM
Wait...what? no,... ive known her for years, I met her back in the day on EQM in fact. Is this for sure? I really would rather hear this is not real and a hoax/false info....
This is so sad. Does anyone know the circumstances or if donations are needed?
Makes you realise just how precious life is. RIP to a great writer and person.
5434482 Same here, I never knew her but I know others did and will miss not having her around anymore.
5434638 From what I read on the first report by one of her followers, it seems to have been natural causes.
Holy… It's sad to hear such bad news… May she rest in peace.
Ah, dammit. :( I've known the name, never knew the person, and now I never will. RIP, RarityEQM.
*salutes*
I didn't know her, and I don't think I had read any of her stories, or ever seen her blogs.
Is it weird that I am still incredibly saddened by this news? Maybe it's not and it just shows my emotions still work after this last year.
Regardless, after seeing just how much she had added to the site and the fandom (and I'm sure many people's lives individually), I will say that though I never had the pleasure of knowing her, I dearly wish I could have, because from what everyone has said, she was truly a bright star in the world.
Perhaps she's in a better place now though, so that's always something to consider.
My thoughts go out to everyone who is having a difficult time because of her passing.
The cobblestone streets of Equestria gain one more face this day, the flag hangs at half-staff, and the skies pour down their rain.
I did not know her, but a passing in this community is, as always, a terrible thing. One more friend, one more light, one more teller or stories, has gone away to tell their stories to us no more. And that is a terrible thing, and I wish to offer my condolences to those who knew her. I hope you all carry on her legacy, and tell stories for many years to come, now that she cannot.
And I pray she goes now, into the world beyond, to pave the way for those of us left behind. May she find the Equestria we all strive to find here, and that the friendships forged and bonds made never break.

This isn't really the best place to slam site policy, but for the record I don't like it much either. It hurts to see a friend's name crossed out. It's like a blunt erasure of any hope you might hold for their spirit to remain a part of the community.
However, that's not the mane reason it bothers me. It bothers me because people will assume she did something wrong, which is acid on the wound. I don't appreciate looking at MythrilMoth's page and seeing "what did he do to get banned" posts from people who clearly mean no harm. They just have no way of knowing what happened until you tell them.
So I think the mane problem isn't what to do with legacy accounts, it's that Fimfiction doesn't say "here's why this user was banned" on the user page. Most other websites (e.g. Derpibooru) tell you precisely why somepony's account is defunct. In the end, the silence on Fimfiction protects neither the user nor the website, and while I assume it's intended to protect the moderators from criticism, I don't think it works there either. It only encourages gossip and leaves people to wonder, secreting away what should be public knowledge to a few insiders.
Just my opinion. YMMV.
Well excuse me for believing that you should only get banned if you deserve it, not because you're dead. I'm guessing that subtlety isn't one of this site's strong suits. In various cultures around the world, there're very big ways to offend them. In Russia, giving either the groom or the bride a white flower during their wedding is disrespectful because white is the color reserved for funerals. In Japan, leaving your chopsticks stuck upright into a bowl of rice is very offensive to them because that's what they do with ceremonial incense sticks; used to provide as an offering to those who have passed on out of respect. My point? What these guys are doing is essentially pissing on someone's grave. As if the prospect of them dying weren't bad enough already, let's rub some salt in that wound. I never had much incentive to respect the staff here for my own reasons that I do not wish to get into. But after this, I definitely won't.
May she rest in peace.
Oh, dear... I'm sorry.
5434573 keep your negativity to yourself we don't need that here
5434918 no one cares about your rant also i gave your rant a thumbs down cuz of how negative it looked if you wanna rant something like that go do it on Facebook or twitter maybe someone on there would care about your annoying rant
i didn't read any of her stories but im sad shes gone alright
Wait, it’s site policy to ban someone if they die?
That’s not right. I didn’t know that person or read their stories. I don’t know why that policy is in place, but it feels really messed up.
Sigh my condolences to those that knew them

You're not getting what I'm saying. That's alright, I wouldn't expect you to. It's not "a negative rant", it's me trying to describe what this site is doing and why it's messed up. It's not my fault if people cannot handle the truth.
I urge you, do your research into the cultures of the world. I'm sure you'll find those topics to be quite enlightening. If you cannot tell the difference between a rant and someone who's making a point, then obviously you're an American. I can tell. I am too, I won't judge you for that. But I unlike you actually would want to learn about the world as I find that to be interesting. At least I'm not uncultured.

Yes, sadly it's true. But it seems that people don't like what I have to say. If they'd paid attention, that stuff is highly disrespectful to those who have passed away in other countries. Look it up. If you ever did any of what i had mentioned below, you will get very disapproving looks from others. People should learn how to read in a place that's all about reading, you know?
May she rest in peace...😢😢😭😭

Okay this is a immortalize procedure. It’s to protect the account from attackers. Sure it seems wrong, but now their stories will live forever without someone else hurting them.
I’m sure that the creators can come up with a better way to do this but it’s going to take a while to get started.
5435967
I think it would be better to have a separate option for those who have passed away.
Personally I’d call it “Retiring”. It would basically be the same thing but it sounds more respectful at least.
You’d also not have people wondering why they’d got banned
5435967
You only ban somebody if they deserve it- if they did something terrible that made banning them a necessary action to take, not because they're dead. And I'm the negative guy here all of a sudden? I'm just trying to educate you guys on things that're also very offensive in other countries- in regards to death. Understandable, considering that they hold passing ceremonies in very high regard. In my mind, what they're doing here is about as bad as what you'd do to piss off people in other countries. What's the difference?
5435978
I completely agree. I can't believe that everyone else here is apparently alright with this. That concerns me. I find this to be disturbing. This is acceptable to them. It shouldn't be tolerated. As a decent human being with standards, I find this to be disgusting.
5436226 Your concerns are noted, but I'm mourning a friend here, not arguing site rules. What you're doing is also disrespectful. Especially your continued insistence on the matter.
5436236
So caring about someone passing away being treated with honor is disrespectful? Then I'd hate to imagine what is considered as good in this community. That honestly scares me. Mind you, there's not much in this world that can scare me. So that's quite an accomplishment.
Life is one big learning experience for everyone. I know I have learned a very important lesson from all of this: It's that using your heart and being compassionate with other people was a mistake. As showing when I did care and made a legitimate effort, it was very negatively received. So the next time something like this happens, or something very similar to it, I'll simply stop caring about it and ignore it. I'll just pretend it doesn't bother me. I'll be sure to remember this, thank you.
5436240
Look you need to calm down your repeating yourself.
I agree with you, but arguing with the guy who lost a friend isn’t helping anyone.
I don’t know how, but try to get in contact with someone who runs the site and give your proposal on how these types of situations should be respectfully dealt with.
(Edit) Check the FAQ’s there’s a link to how you can contact an administrator.

I'm a man of my word. I said I'll stop caring and I will. These guys are going through the trouble of treating me like I'm the bad guy. Then okay, I think it's only appropriate that I give them a reason to feel that way about me. You're welcome.
5436236
Agreed, i'm really sorry for your loss though my friend, she'll be missed, her stories were amazing.
This world is just too harsh and cruel to us sometimes.
