Okay, he was contacted. I think another one was previously blocked after an upload. And this threat was discussed on our list. But nobody accepted this requirement of the guidelines (a separate account) since we don't see any reason justifying it in this case (crowdsourced import, sourced, limited, merged, reversible, etc...). It's a question of principle, we cannot accept that all contributors uploading bulidings have this hammer on the head. Because today, it is done after 1 million uploaded objects, tomorrow it will be for a big town and later for 3 small villages and finally all imports will be blocked if it's not a separate account. > DWG != OSMF.

The uploads we are talking are normally done with JOSM after the integration with the existing data and validation. If it is performed with a script, then it's a bad import done by one of the "black sheeps" mentionned earlier. We also agree to block such bad imports.
