My 2p; He has been very active around "my" area and I have had to put in some work righting wrongs; there are more out there than I have fixed & I believe the original was better than the fixed version in some cases. Although some of my time has gone into re-edits, I would prefer to see him reverted completely. If I lose an occasional addition, it will be worth it. If he's a bored teenager in London, there's a Dartford mapping party coming up next weekend; I'll even offer a lift &/or mentoring! It's the summer holidays now so if he likes b*ggering about in OSM, the next 6 weeks could be problematic! If he's not interested in being constructive, +1 for a ban.
