I also think automated messages (especially with this text) are no good. For me validating, I see three situations: 1) The work is bad or the tile is not fully mapped: --> I invalidate. I always invalidate with a comment and I think everybody does it like this (or maybe it is even a must?) 2)

Since it had been raised before I think a mention in this mailing group that they were not coming from individual validators would have been appropriate. Thanks John On 29 Oct 2017 12:09 pm, "Scott Davies" wrote: > John, > > I've raised this also. I think there are

John, I've raised this also. I think there are two issues here-- 1. the plethora of emails being sent and whether this is annoying to some people, and 2. the wording of the email does make it sound like it's from the validator and doesn't make clear that it's automated, leading to

"Hi Johnwhelan I just validated your mapping on Task 14. Awesome work! Keep mapping :)" Apparently similar twee messages are being sent out as if they come from me. These are unauthorised and I object to them. One issue is validators getting impolite messages because they appear to have sent

There's an overload problem on the tile renderer and the tiles wanted are missing in the server front caches (which are also overloaded or have problems connecting to the renderers for several of the styles renderered). Even some static images for the UI are not loading. It looks there's a

Hello, cross-posting this to the mailing list as I just joined now: We're planning a mapping activity for rural roads in Pune district in India. Our project is here: http://tasks.openstreetmap.in/project/89 (Still in draft mode) We are facing an issue in the Tasking Manager interface : Map tiles

If you work by validating tiles on a project as they are done as I do so the tile is validated within a day or so and the project has 95% of the mapped tiles validated this isn't a problem. I do have a strong negative reaction to seeing the word awesome all over the place it might work in Chicago

Hi John, One of the main feedback items we got was that people received no notifications of when their work was validated so that is why we switched from sending a message to the users when their work was validated instead of only when it was invalidated. They are probably going to stay and as I

I think I've validated more than 10,000 tiles I would hate to think I'd be responsible for 10,000 spam messages. These are meaningless and I think they should be stopped as quickly as possible. I apologise to any mappers that have received these as part of my validations. I will have to give
