I'm under the impression it's reckless serial stupidity involving the use of a random .osm file being altered and uploaded to the server. There was a bunch of 600 nodes he moved to Portugal on Wednesday. This was brought to my attention and I reverted them within 4-5 hours. I also sent him a message basically telling him in no uncertain terms to stop whatever it was he doing and seek help. As far as I know there have been no subsequent incidents. He only deleted a single node... the London one. My revertion script was only set up to revert moved nodes, so it didn't catch it. I've now restored the London node too. > > Looking at the diff, it would appear that user "randomjunk" was trying > to repair the damage done by FilipeOliveira at the same time as he was > creating more havoc.

I reprocessed the resulting daily diff, and can't find any more edits that day, or the next.
