[Talk-us] Blocking of user "WorstFixer" for removing ele=0 etc

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

    user "WorstFixer" modified some 70k ways and 1.5k relations in the 
past 12 hours, claiming to "clean up imports by user nmixter" and 
claiming to have discussed this with nmixter.

I blocked him and requested that he discuss such edits publicly *before* 
executing them. From his diary it seems that "WorstFixer" is averse to 
discussions before the act, and prefers discussing and possibly 
reverting edits *after*, which of course is unacceptable for a number of 
reasons.

Removing ele=0 from objects is, in my opinion, totally unnecessary; like 
created_by, over which WorstFixer made a similar fuss, such information 
could be removed where an object is touched for some other reason but I 
don't see why it would have to be mass-removed. Even so, a mass-removal 
would be ok if proposed, discussed, and accepted by the community like 
we expect everyone to; it's not ok to just do it on your own and see if 
someone notices.

Bye
Frederik
