And welcome to the real world -- if you put up a metric for people to achieve they'll happily manipulate it to show up on top. On your original you only made it mean I have to make 3 times as many useless edits to own each tile. Adding name, 2 points... excellent, I guess I should first delete the name, then readd it. 1 point for a tag... thank you utf8 character set! 3 points for initial creation... well, why waste time putting stuff in the right place, someone else can move it for 0 points at some future time. How do we find bots? What's the definition of a mass change that's somehow different to a prolific mapper? Does it seem worth the effort?
