Hi, Juggalo_Kyle.
It seems that you did remove 4 areas which were representing some schools. For example, the White Knoll High School https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/546860888/history
Did you see something wrong with the objects, maybe? Or there was another reason to remove them? -

Juggalo_Kyle, I restored the school areas. Note that these areas are representing the school grounds and not the school building, for example.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you have any doubts. -
Comment from Darth_Vader
The "school grounds" detail affects apps for people who work, visit, and interact with these places in a negative way. Myself being one of them. In order to prevent this, this detail should not be mapped. Labeling the school building is detail enough. The "school grounds" detail is overkill and like I said affects apps in a negative way. Please leave these places alone for the people that actually live in these areas and visit these locations. A good life philosophy to follow is "If it doesn't affect you directly then it's best to leave it alone."

A better philosophy for you to grasp is, OpenStreetMap documents the world as it exists.
We do not map for the app, we map reality.
We map landuse.
These are school grounds, and that is fact.
If these facts bother you, take it up with your app, it is not for OSM to pander to the apps or their users who are affected by ground-truth.
Please leave the map alone for the thousands of other data consumers who increasingly rely on OSM to have correct, up-to-date, and comprehensive information, not fiction tailored for one particular app.
Your deletions will be reverted. -
Comment from naoliv
Which app you are using that makes this looks like an error?
You should try to fix it in the app that you are using (by contacting the developers, maybe), instead removing a valid data that everybody else uses.
And again, please, don't remove these areas. -
Comment from Darth_Vader
If you insist on creating problems for the people that actually live around these places, the locals and myself, then I will create problems for everyone else by creating multiple accounts and mass deleting features all around the world.

Darth_Vader, what you are threatening here is computer vandalism and it is illegal in South Carolina. Participating in such activity can severely affect your school/college experience or career. Think twice before you do anything you regret later - it's not worth it.

Naoliv, I'm pretty sure the app in question is "Pokemon Go": it doesn't spawn Pokemon on school grounds, but it does spawn them on meadows, grass, forests, and sand -- or in other words, exactly the detail that Darth_Vader has added to Carolina Springs Elementary School.

@Carnildo it seems to be the case, indeed. Yesterday a friend also sent some links, like https://pokemongo.gamepress.gg/q-a/poke-spawns-stopped-my-city-college which says "Niantic has stopped pokemon spawning in schools."
