This seems like a problem to me. Perhaps we (that is to say, the people who have the permission to stop an account from uploading) need an intermediate step between locking an account, and permitting random editing. Maybe we need a status intermediate between having an account locked, and having an account which is marked read-only? "Your account is marked as read-only. Please read your INBOX for more information." That would catch the id and potlatch users. Then we just need JOSM to show a similar error message when it tries to log you in. Or maybe a 'moderation' facility, whereby somebody's changeset needs to be human-reviewed before it goes into the database? If somebody has proven themselves to make troublesome edits, this seems like an expensive yet effective way to help them. -- --my blog is at http://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog _______________________________________________ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
