Dear Tom Ameye,

your detailed landuse mapping has attracted many comments, as you surely are aware:

https://resultmaps.neis-one.org/osm-discussion-comments?uid=12652421

Many different people have attempted to convice you that your approach - mostly, splitting up landuses to follow plot boundaries - is not what we want to do in OSM, Plot boundaries not being verifiable on the ground is one reason but many other reasons have been pointed out to you.

While your responses were always polite, you never actually changed your approach - you’re continuing unfazed.

This needs to stop now. We have reached the end of politely trying to convince you; I am now asking you to stop any and all landuse mapping in OSM immediately. You are welcome to improve the map in other ways, but we do not want you to make any more changes to residential areas, gardens, parks, or any other landuse areas (including landuse areas that do not use the landuse tag in OSM).

If you ignore this request, then I will block you from editing OSM for one day. If after that, you make another landuse edit, I will block you for two days, then four, and so on. Also, any landuse edits you do make from now on will be reverted.

Thank you
