Hello Dinsh,

once again you have uploaded 22,000 nodes within a few hours, and it doesn’t even seem like you’re done yet - you’re still uploading.

There is a suspicion that you are adding low-quality AI-generated building footprints in very large quantities and to remove that suspicion I had asked you in osm.org/user_blocks/15745 to restrict yourself to 1,000 hand-mapped buildings a day.

You haven’t got as far as uploading any ways yet but the 22,000 buildings from the last few hours do not sound like this is going to be less than 1,000 buildings. I am afraid I have to once again stop you here.

You have taken something like five hours to upload those 22,000 nodes and I do not understand what it is you’re doing. Are you now importing data but with an artificial slow-down hoping that you will not be found out? I told you in changeset/148381503 that this is not a good idea.

Please reconsider your approach. Do not create more than 1,000 buildings per day. Do not import these buildings or use AI to generate the footprints without having a proper consultation with the community before.

I will block your account for two days and remove the half-uploaded, untagged nodes from today. I will increase that block time if you do further mass uploads in the future.

Best regards
