I know a friend who have some ruby knowledge, and will try to implement something. It seems that there already is a moderator user role https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/blob/master/app/models/user_role.rb#L4, so it should not be that hard to do. On Fri, Sep 5, 2014 at 4:36

Hi David, that's right and that's why I would prefer a good way to moderate the diaries directly, too. But nevertheless the value of a spam entry in the diaries is increased by tools like this because deletion would require deletion at at least two places. regards Peter Am 15.05.2014 00:33,

First of all let me say I'm a huge fan of the diaries, I think it is great that OpenStreetMap gives every user the chance to present his own blog to a larger audiance. BUT something has to be done against the Spam on the User Diaries page. This could be done by moderating faster, but then
