The baseless "Whats on the Ground" vs the factual "Actual Nature of the Road"
Posted by slice0 on 3 February 2024 in English.it’s me again speaking from beyond the grave lmao!, todays diary entry consists of a bait and switch a user is trying to do first by removing a simple note from South Australias Major Traffic Network, and therefore after based on “Whats on the Ground” change the classifications of the road network to whatever the user feels. The problem with this is that “Whats on the Ground” literally has no authority over “actual nature of the road”. If this does not make sense please read the community link below.

You still don’t get it, do you? You’ve persuaded the other mappers to react with extreme negativity towards the Major Traffic Network when they might have taken it more seriously , because they associate it with your antics.

@wynndale if you’re talking about things that I have said on discord in the past that got me my first block I accept that. otherwise I am trying to talk about rules, facts, data and personal opinion. Outside of these diary entrys I dont believe I have ever talked to you in my life. I dont even know you .

Think you might be in the wrong project.

@richard can you please read through the link on the community forum and voice your thoughts there, what I mean is that each classification of road already has their definitions the the Wiki. how does “whats on the ground” have authority over these definitions, please keep that in mind as you read through and respond there please. As that is where the discussion is taking place.

If you want to have the discussion on the community forum, maybe stop trolling the user diaries?

@richard the discussion is already happening, you’re welcome to express your opinion

I would suggest extend slice0’s block to infinite and revoke diary access.

@CactiStaccingCrane based on what, genuinely curious. I am actively seeking to improve myself by the way.
