I can second that. I did Pokémon cleaning in Germany. The majority of them doesn't edit OSM a second time. Some of the do, therefore I add all users whose edits I reverted to my RSS feed reader for a few weeks to check if future edits are ok. I had three cases when those users continued mapping. Only one of them really needed a 0-hour block to read his changeset comments. > A tool that flags new parks, don't just look for named parks, but all parks > - some of the players haven't gotten the word that it's only named parks, > and new water features would be useful.

What about an additional filter for OSMCHA? The filter should be adapted if the editing pattern changes, i.e. some mappers should look what Pokémon player are currently discussing about on the social media (i.e. do spying). > [1] https://osmus.slack.com/messages/new-mappers > [2] irc://irc.oftc.net #osm-bot You can also use http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/newestosm?c=Germany to look for new mappers. If you review changesets by newbies, please write a changeset comment that you reverted the edits if you did it. You should be honest towards the user whose edits you reverted and other reviewers are happy if they don't have to review a changeset which has already been reverted.
