My guess after reading the first sentence of your mail was right. There is no need to hide the name of this user. Its name is ulamm (Ulrich Lamm) from Bremen. He has long history of conflicts with other mappers in Bremen, Germany and Germany's eastern neighbours. Let me shortly summarize his conflicts: 1. name:de In June this year he tried to delete almost all name:de tags in areas which belonged to Germany before World War II. He said that OSM is full of nazis and only capitals of foreign countries should have German names in OSM. He also deleted other name:*=* tags in Poland and Czech Republic. His motivation was that name:de=* had a higher priority than name=* or int_name=* in rendering at openstreetmap.org. http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=25719 2. Bicycle Tagging This conflict exists especially in Bremen. I think you know the important topics of this conflict. In almost all topics his opinion is in difference to the opinion of OSM community. He is a mapping-for-the-renderer-mapper and you cannot discuss a topic with him. Both in case 1 and 2 he was reported to DWG several times. DWG told him that he will be blocked indefinitely if there is another conflict with other OSM contributors. I would like to see himself blocked. It would not be a loss for OSM community.
