The above mentioned editing for satisfying personal fiddling needs does resemble the behavior that has resulted in two earlier user-blocks from the DWG with reasons as

https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/5430

once again you have committed a mechanical edit without the required discussion: Changeset: 113465893 | OpenStreetMap

You have received many comments about past activities of that kind but apparently they have not led to any change in your behaviour.

From now on you will receive a temporary account block for every un-discussed mechanical edit that attracts criticism from the community.

and

https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/5565

once again you’ve made a wide-ranging “correction” following the “documentation” in an area where you have no knowledge: Changeset: 115350228 | OpenStreetMap […]

Please don’t make these types of edits. Go out and record some great detailed POI information in an area where you actually have first-hand knowledge, or trace some data from aerial imagery if you must, but this world-wide tag fiddling doesn’t help.

[…] . I am however extending the original request to “tag fiddling by applying what you think is right according to the documentation without knowing anything about the local area or why the tags you are editing were introduced”.

The mass edits you performed last friday were actually a kind of mechanical edit, since you turned yourself into some kind of bot after your “QA-phase” :

In this “QA phase” -that you performed before consulting previous mappers ot the community here- you missed several types of items that you should have excluded.

And since you didn’t look at the individual data you were performing actions on, you did not notice that your QA-phase had failed to exclude something that had to be excluded.

And also did not look at the result of your operation after your “reconstruct”, you went on in your loop to the next item so you did not notice that data had gone missing , like the item previously discussed here.

And because you did not look at the individual data that you were mechanically editing on 1.700 relations in a day, you also did not notice that you introduced additional errors instead of solving existing errors with your edits.

Such as here where you removed the landuse MP, while the previous mapper correctly stated that the right way of action was not to remove the MP, but to add the already present water geometry as an inner to the MP
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/138822498

And here yet another mapper point out other errors you have introduced with your recent edits :
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/139058959

This last edit you have even made after it was shown that your edits led to unintended loss of data and you were requested multiple times here to check your own work since it was shown there was unintended data-loss

You refused this since you claimed:

With this kind of behavior you are breaking more than you are fixing.

Not only data, but more importantly the energy of your fellow mappers.

I would have thought that the clear recent indications that a fellow mapper made that your behavior was detrimental to his well-being would have given some food for thought and self-reflection / empathy
: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/complexe-waterway-relaties/5269/24

But instead you make cynical references to the frustration your behavior leads to with other mappers, just like you are doing here.

Sad state of affairs …

I am leaving this discussion for now and focussing my energy on more positive matters.
Cheers.
