Imports which don't follow the guidelines may be asked to stop or blocked.
This includes imports where the appropriate community consultation wasn't
done, imports with legal problems, imports without a dedicated account, and
various weird problems.

 

Most cases are dealt with via a private message or a 0-hour block which
forces them to log on to osm.org and read it.

Paul - can you elaborate on the point about users being blocked if not using
a dedicated account?

 

The guidelines don't point this out & it seems contrary to the spirit of
there being no "right" way of doing things in OSM. (Not a policy I agree
with, but que sera...).

 

Who does the blocking?

 

Thanks, Jeff
