The user was messaged on 3 separate occasions between 22 March 2012 and 14 September 2012, asking for him to use a dedicated import account. Finally a short upload block was placed on his account.(which ended 3 days ago) The initial message on the 22 March 2012 and follow-ups pointed to the guidelines ( http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines ) which include that imports should be done from a dedicated account. DWG != OSMF. OSM is not unique, wikipedia too require a dedicated account for bots.
