Re: [Talk-us] User Cam4rd98 gun-jumping new highways + adding fictional alignments
2013/6/1 Clay Smalley claysmal...@gmail.com I've had to clean up his edits before. What bothers me is that he's unresponsive and never leaves any comments on his edits. I've brought him up before to DWG but nothing's been done. Retry, being unresponsive while performing disputed edits is a good reason to be (temporarily) blocked. cheers, Martin ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] Take another look at notes!
Thanks for pointing out the craigslist/notes connection. A minor UI comment: I added a note about something that I know needs fixing, just to see what it was like. I didn't realize that one had to move the marker before clicking 'add', and the text box started out over the area where the marker belonged. So it would be nice if step one was click to place, and only then could one type. I think it would result in more accurate placement. An alternative would be to let users that added a note move them. (I realize this has nothing to do with externally-generated notes.) ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us
Re: [Talk-us] User Cam4rd98 gun-jumping new highways + adding fictional alignments
I've tried a couple times to reach out to this user with no response. I've had to delete several huge swaths of highway=proposed roads in the Chicago area that they've added. They also added a ton of barrier=ditch lines in seemingly random spots. Can we stop rendering highway=proposed?

Perhaps we (that is to say, the people who have the permission to stop an account from uploading) need an intermediate step between locking an account, and permitting random editing. Maybe we need a status intermediate between having an account locked, and having an account which is marked read-only? Your account is marked as read-only. Please read your INBOX for more information. That would catch the id and potlatch users. Then we just need JOSM to show a similar error message when it tries to log you in. Or maybe a 'moderation' facility, whereby somebody's changeset needs to be human-reviewed before it goes into the database? If somebody has proven themselves to make troublesome edits, this seems like an expensive yet effective way to help them. -- --my blog is athttp://blog.russnelson.com Crynwr supports open source software 521 Pleasant Valley Rd. | +1 315-600-8815 Potsdam, NY 13676-3213 | Sheepdog ___ Talk-us mailing list Talk-us@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-us

Re: [Talk-us] Take another look at notes!
It's probably worth pointing out that the tiles Craigslist is using are pretty out of date. For example, they don't show the buildings in Chicago that were imported a couple of months ago. Hopefully Craigslist users won't get too frustrated when the problems they point out don't appear to be fixed immediately.

Re: [Talk-us] Take another look at notes!
Hi, Since we are talking about the new notes feature. I think it is great, how about showing the notes by default on main OSM page? Thanks Jason.
