Re: [OSM-dev] Various types and means of account blocks

Overall I would look at how Wikipedia solves it from technical viewpoint. It is (hopefully) unlikely that we will get more vandals and trolls than English-languagewikipedia and they already spend quite significant effort on policing dedicated vandals. 24. Sep 2018 17:57 by frede...@remote.org
