Can't log in to the WME, possible ban

Let me shed some light here. The post above is from the guy who has to think of his own future with the community because he is the other one blamed by many for exactly the same misconducts.

Yet again, let me stress that this is NOT the place to vent, and I urge everyone to stop reacting. One has to negotiate the issue with the community. Nothing else works. Thank you.

Why are you so vague about the “misconducts”? Let everyone know and have good laughs. I think the goal here is a good road map that works not your personal preferences when you talk about “misconducts”.

You wanted me to “be publicly spanked” and promised to invite “regular” members of the community. Where are they? A couple of guys who just always liked to troll came here once in a decade to tell me how happy they are that I’m banned. Is that the community you are talking about?

The “regular” and normal community members don’t even care unless you break the routes. And those guys who came to “publicly spank” me aren’t perfect. If you check after them each and every segment like you did after me, you will be surprised.

When I see problems I fix them or discuss with the author. You just went and deleted all my edits. You didn’t even care about the problems. You were pissed off that someone stepped on your turf. And spent several days cleaning edits even if there were no issues. I would call it uncooperative, unproductive and unwelcoming behavior. A minor unintentional mistake is not vandalism. Vandalism is going after an editor and cleaning edits no matter how good or bad they are. Who wins here? I spent my time, you spent yours and we came right there where we started. Well done.

I have seen enough screenshots of your edits to agree with Vladi, who made the decision to delete everything and paint again. But this is not the main problem. As you well know, every community has its own map editing agreements. You think that these agreements in the Russian community do not correspond to your point of view, this is your right. But this, nevertheless, does not give you the right to make edits that violate the overall routing picture. Or local routing of a particular area. All this has been repeatedly discussed, your arguments have been heard, but this has not found the support of the majority. You cannot negotiate and argue, remaining within the framework of normal communication, and we do not want to endure your insults. This is the main reason. The Waze staff will not bring you back to our community, even if they give you back the right to edit maps. Although, if I were you, I wouldn’t count on that either.

I will add, to everything said above, guys from the Russian community. How many edits you did a day is very similar to reading, while these edits are very similar to simply stuffing glasses.
The next fact is that you absolutely do not see how certain scripts work. And in the end, trying to correct something (you need it or you don’t need it), you use a script that simultaneously changes a large number of other attributes of segments and POI.
As a result, the painstakingly tested speedlimits, you’re just taking the hell down. At the same time, everyone. You have actively undertaken to impose your ideas on editing rules, going against the rules adopted in the Russian Community.
You hear in all conversations only what you want to hear, the rest does not exist for you, when you make comments, you immediately switch to insults. And you constantly try to justify yourself by referring to some rules in OSM and other navigation and mapping projects (hence the question, and why are you here and not there?). Which is not entirely correct, there are their own rules, here they are. Either accept the rules or leave the community and project.
Therefore, a collegial decision was made to stop your activity in terms of editing, and block your activity in the community.

Manzareck, I asked you to send the screenshots you were talking about. All I received is some kind of visual instruction on road shields. Why would you send me those if I asked the screenshots of my edits you and vladimobile didn’t like? Why are you keeping them in secret? Why didn’t you try to discuss this? Then you confirmed that vladimobile treats even minor issues as a personal insult. Ok. So don’t talk about my insults. Because I didn’t even know I could insult him by making some edits in his region. When he told me to stop, I STOPPED. Post factum, you secretely collected a number of screenshots with issues. You did not show them to anyone including myself but you are referring to them when justifying the ban. Isn’t it kind of weird? Weren’t you supposed as a champ to explain the issues to me and not keep track of them secretly? I am ready to discuss factual things. But you still talk about some ephemeral stuff and then block me. So this is the only way I can reach the community.

I ask again: please provide those screenshots you are referring to (even publicly).

I ask why did not you try to discuss them with me? Why are you blocking me when I am reaching to you to ask for help?

The same question to you, alarun, why am I hearing about some unwanted changes in attributes of segments and POI only now? Where have you been?
FYI, I try to not change speedlimits where they are set. I only change them based on the streetview information or personal knowledge. Again, show me one place where I messed up a speed limit or a POI attribute. That is possible. And if this is the case, I will say thank you and fix them.

Guys, please. Enough is enough. No offence, but trust me when I say that the global community take absolutely no interest in reading about our internal affairs. Things like this happen every once in a while, everywhere. If each and every dissident posted globally, we would end up reading tons of nonsense crap. As a moderator for the Russian Community Forums, I will from now on execute my right to remove all messages, no matter which side they support (reason: wrong forum to discuss certain matters). However, everyone is welcome to transfer the discussion to the Russian community forum to continue, if they feel like doing so. Thank you. :slight_smile:

Update: given the fact that the topic starter is unable to stop posting, I made the decision to lock the topic completely. Let me once again direct everyone interested in the continuation towards the Russian Community Forum. The link is above.
