+1. I've been thinking of disabling access to ways of >1000 nodes in Potlatch anyway (see http://trac.openstreetmap.org/ticket/1274), it'd be great if people couldn't create them in the first place. Recently some poor chap spent ages tracing out a lake, a well-meaning but misguided mapper came along and combined all his ways into one big one (17,000 nodes - ffs), and one bunch of timeouts later, the way ended up utterly b0rked: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/katpatuka/diary/3589#comments cheers Richard _______________________________________________ dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev
