Re: [OSM-talk] An import in New Zealand, assistance requested

Sorry for responding to this late. Just because a specific source has been legally "OK"ed doesn't imply that an import of all the data from a specific source is warranted and  should continue on for all times. The import guidelines are silent on this, but I would suggest that revisiting and

[OSM-talk] An import in New Zealand, assistance requested

Before I ask for assistance, please note this: I've already brought this up on osm-imports and got nowhere useful. There are a number of users in NZ doing mass imports of building data in Auckland (I estimate 500,000 buildings), while wilfully ignoring community guidelines. I have asked numerous
