[Talk-us] Deletion rampage by a certain user

[James Mast]

Yeah, I think Cam4rd98 was just deleting stuff for kicks possibly....

I just was checking he deletions, and noticed he completely deleted a brand new expressway [1] that I traced out and added in Fayetteville, NC [2].  Sure, some of the ways originally used the same IDs of ways he created, but, I traced the new highway out completely using brand new imagery that was allowed (NAIP & Bing).  Thus, there shouldn't have been any problems with it now.  I mean, if you had to, you could redact the first versions of the ways/nodes that Cam4rd98 made, but my versions of them were completely in the clear.  I had put a lot of hard work into getting that new highway setup for routing.  I'll work on partially reverting his changeset dealing with the deletion of my work there.

I also found this changeset of his (Changeset 29738098 [3]) where he deleted another highway that I cleaned up and marked as opened (which it is, have had a few friends drive it).  I cleaned up that section of new highway in Changeset 28973939 [4], and Cam4rd98 deleted it a month later.  Looking at most of the history of the ways he deleted in that changeset, he only touched them once, and that was when he deleted them....  I'd call this changeset pure vandalism.  Especially since it completely broke routing in that area.  I've already reverted it completely in Changeset 31293156 [4].

Anyways, I think Cam4rd98 does need a new block.  That way, he can at least explain to the DWG why he did all those mass deletions.
