I could very well imagine having edits which are questionable but you'd normally say "it's a new user and while he hasn't improved anything, he hasn't broken anything either so let him be". But if that was accompanied by "fuck you", I'd not be so lenient. > I must say that the first time I heard from this message was because of this > thread.

Well you could start with the first discussions on changesets, from February 2008, here http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Changesets_and_Reverts - a "commit comment" has always been integral to the concept. I am surprised that it requires explanation. Can you imagine the usefulness of http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changesets without descriptions?
