Hello Yakari,

“being bored” isn’t a very convincing reason to vandalize the map. This is a community project and everyone works towards making the map better.

You asked “But I reverted it in the morning, which damage would make?” - If, by any chance, a large map provider was to download the world data with your change in place, every public GPS routing tool wouldn’t have found Czechia for a few weeks or months.

Please don’t do this again. And don’t boast about it in a public forum, that’ll make you look even more like a nefarious actor that should be permanently banned.

I’m placing a 4 day block on your account, which means you cannot make any changes to the map during this time. Maybe reflect on your actions.

Should you wish to discuss this block, send an email to [email protected], with the subject line Ticket#2026013110000042.

Regards
Kai
