[...]Please have a look at past interactions of Xxzme with users on the wiki and discussion here in the recent thread Problems with the wiki (was "Why OSM and not another collaborative mapping service?") This does not come unexpected and the end of Xxzme's current editing pattern has been called for by a lot of people based on the clear impression from various sides that Xxzme is immune to any attempts of productive social interaction. There has been a previous one month block with no visible change in interaction and recently a lot of clear communications that Xxzme's behaviour needs to change but as Frederik put it "short of a miracle I don't see that happening" - which is an assessment shared by many. AFAIK no single opinion has been voiced indicating that anyone has successfully and productively interacted with Xxzme on the wiki. My suggestion to those with an admin position on the wiki is that if the ban is lifted after 3 months and if Xxzme continues editing then it is closely monitored if there is a change in social interaction with other wiki editors to avoid the situation getting again as unbearable and damaging for the atmosphere on the wiki as it was now. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
