OSMCha is not loading the latest changesets from filmsgr, which that I am monitoring (despite worsening health) due to a history of making fictional edits, or edits that go against community consensus. I need help to get OSMCha updating realtime or near-realtime again.
Not sure what the provincial road numbers really are but I don’t know if they use suffixes here: OSMCha
I don’t have the provincial road numbers in front of me, but with a quick search I don’t find ΕΠ44γ for Ioannina Prefecture. Only ΕΠ44 which is Metsovo-Anilio.
Considering though how that user already had blocks and edits which were without consultation from the Greek community, I will assume this edit, along with the others he did these days, are incorrect/contain fake info that should be removed.
This road is not even part of the provincial road network so it cant have a ref tag at all.

The DWG has advised me to step down from the Delta Evas ALL monitoring role because of my health. I have nominated a consortium of @jimkats, @nikospag and @PeachyOne as my successor.
Although OpenStreetMap is not the cause of my ongoing health issues, I nevertheless accept that there is a need for me to focus on less intense projects, such as landuse and unmapped rural roads.

Having changed their name to roblox_gmx, they seem to continue to make questionable edits. Here, here, here, here, here and here they delete perfectly good (perhaps simply misaligned?) ways, only to replace them with their own with fewer points, instead of retagging them as needed, and also added refs that I am not sure are valid.
Here they have changed the classification of ways from motorway link to motorway, seemingly with no purpose.
Here a more detailed way has been deleted, and its tagging changed erroneously, although for full disclosure, it is my own way.
Here the road doesn’t seem to be finished and fully extant in the imagery that is cited as the only source.
Here a perfectly good portion of way has been spliced away, and replaced with a poorly tagged one with bad spelling. Its unclear whether the ref should be swapped between the two ways, as this user has done.
This is just from the last four days.
EDIT: I have contacted the DWG by email and the issue has been assigned Ticket#2024120210000535.
More examples of destructive editing:
Here once again razed the previous ways, but only readded them with a later changeset, that we already discussed here within the context of its curious ref number. The destroyed history subsequently impeded our ability to detect the vandalism.
Here while they made good improvements to the junction geometry, they again did so by deleting all previous ways, and they simply removed all landuse ways.
Here and here they again deleted existing ways, destroying history, replacing it with a less detailed one, and adding a questionable ref.
Here about the same sort as above, but also omitting many detailed tags from the previous way.
Here a new name is added, while a signposted name is removed entirely, along with deleting the way with 23 previous versions of history, to make it impossible to track this change.
Here a way with 26 versions is deleted for seemingly no reason, as the tags are exactly the same. All that needed to be done was some slight realigning.
Here the way is once again deleted and replaced, and tellingly is one of the user’s first edits, deleting a way that was restored from a previous attempt to delete from their suspected original account, Delta Evas ALL/Hamilton 44, which is now blocked.

I am now reverting all of roblox_gmx’s (ex filmsgr) edits (where objects had not been touched by others in the mean time), and have blocked their account until further notice on roblox_gmx blocked by woodpeck | OpenStreetMap. Please let the DWG know if further new accounts pop up that show the same pattern. We’re tracking all “Delta Evas ALL” related business under Ticket#2024040910000271.
