Dear Flap Slimy Outward,

This is a 0 hour block which will expire after being read. I considered a much longer block but other members of our team suggested this, but to consider much longer blocks with future issues.

I’m sure you are well aware of the problem you created with your mass edit of road names in the Phoenix area. It has taken hours to resolve and even then we are not sure everything has been corrected. Like you, we are all volunteers and this took time away from us to work on projects we like.

The Import Guidelines must be followed. In a nut shell, the guidelines basically ask that you follow the community guidelines. In other words, work with the community before making changes, big or small, that go against community standards.

If you need to discuss anything I’d written, send an email to [email protected] referencing Ticket#2026011610000455.

Best,
