I think you misunderstood my purpose. I was not contacting OSM to complain about illegal signs. I was responding to the original poster and urging caution about relying on signs. At least in my jurisdiction, official databases seem to me to be more reliable than signage regarding property rights.

I would use the 'Open Data from official sources' to confirm the 'on the ground' public signage. A conflict should lead to further investigation/thought. On 25-Oct-16 10:45 AM, john whelan wrote: A very interesting comment, considering the lengths we seem to go to to avoid importing Open

Just a comment that I'd be wary of "No hunting", "Hunting allowed", or "Private property", or other signs on the ground that can actually be placed by anyone, whether or not they are legal. A problem that I've encountered more than once is a private property owner putting out what appeared to me

I, for one, think that hunting areas don't really belong to OSM. Or at least benefits are outweighed by problems. Firstly they may or may not be associated with OSM features. In the latter case, there's no guarantee that someone who edits a forest would understand it and not merge it with other
