Do we need fake Restricted areas?

In this screenshot one of the marked areas is not a real Restricded area. Can you see which one?
It is put in ther by Skydemon to highlight a change in real restrictions.
In reality, it is more of a  nuisance than a help.
Please stop doing this. 
If you for some reason absolutely must do it, make it the same size and shape as the area you want to mark out!!

Your screenshot did not show a restricted area, it showed a NOTAM. Turning off graphical NOTAMs is not generally a great idea because they are extremely useful. However, some authorities don't always publish them very well. If they publish them in a manner that makes it unclear to which restricted area they are referring, which is likely in this case, we cannot "snap" them to the shape of their restricted area. That's when we revert to the circular depiction.

If you still have the original NOTAM text handy, that might help us investigate if we can do any better.
