This might not be compatible with Bing's imagery license. Just because we can use it as a backdrop in an editor doesn't mean we can create copies and distribute in a forum. > Why, you ask, don't you just point them to the very easy to use > iD-editor!

You could think about using the OSM "notes" feature where even anonymous users can submit notes which you (or anyone else) can then call up in an OSM editor and convert to properly tagged objects. You could either direct people to the osm.org web site and explain the notes feature, or write a small Javascript interface yourself that places these notes in OSM.
