I apologize it took so long. This was kind of a weird case where it wasn't immediately clear of his intentions/if it was clear cut abuse. Unfortunately, there was no hope of him ever understanding that his edits are not helping. It was making SCMapDB a worse place for others and damaging the integrity of the content. Any future instances like this will be handled immediately. I appreciate everyone's patience and concern.

It is important to note that the site is a wiki with the intent to be a repository of all publicly available map content and related data. A large chunk of the content in SCMapDB (probably more than half) has been inventoried over the years and maintained by dedicated community members—not the mappers themselves. When SCMapDB was built, it was a time of fragmented, incomplete, and outdated sites, dead links, broken installers, and nowhere to find all SC maps. The hope was to fix these problems by creating an open platform able to stand the test of time, compatible with the fact that most mappers are no longer around or active.

The "profile pages" (mapper pages) were meant to be more like a Wikipedia article for a movie director—listing all the movies they've directed, were involved with, or are currently working on. For perspective: Say the director was unhappy with an old movie they worked on and released to the public, and wanted to remove any mention of it from the article about them. Wikipedia and their community would not allow that. In fact, the director is likely the one to get banned if they kept trying to delete valid info. We are not following that model here. Mappers have the final say regarding their content. But I wanted to emphasize that all parts of this site are in fact an open wiki.

If someone is clearly making bad or unwanted edits, I think it makes sense to deal with the offender directly. This could start by contacting them and lead up to reporting and banning from the entire site. This will be handled.

Regarding the page lock request, currently the way it works is everyone (even page owner) is blocked from editing a locked page. Only admins and mods are able to edit. I can look into this further and see if there's a better way.

Thanks

While such edits have been harmless in nature, (although I have to stress that there was one occaison where available public data about a user was posted without their acceptance, another ToS violation), it is nonetheless very irritating to have edits be made to your profile page. I think that only site admins should be allowed to have the ability to make edits to profile pages as well has the owner of that profile page.

In my instance someone had a map series linked onto my page under the Conversions section and while this info was correct, I did not want to have it linked there, so I didn't edit the page accordingly- had I wanted for the map to be linked there I would have edited the page myself. Unfortunately it was added and while its not an offense it does feel like a breach of "personal space".

If possible, I want to request a feature to lock your own profile page from edits
Thanks
