Hi!
First, some clarifications:
The possible measures and use limitations were only provided as an
example what can be observed and measured and what could be limited
before earning enough trust in a wat that would be much more effective
and less annoying than captchas. It was not a specific
What about not adding restrictions to the rights, but implement some
warning system?
We can use some trust points that are awarded for good mapping
(objects that last on the map)
Then warning points in each upload for possibly bad things (deleted
nodes, removed tags, accidentally moving many

Hello,
Goal
Prevent creation of new sock puppet accounts for potential acts of
vandalism on larger scale and spam. Gradually give trust to users, and
give them additional privileges. It should not be in the way when new
users want to contribute normally. It should not encourage competition
As osm grows the chances that somone will try to damage the map grows.
Maybe a new user should have their edits checked when they first join and
then build trust that way. Make it a random check but put the priority on
the new users. If somone does a large edit then it can be flagged to be
Agreed,
Trust points not needed.
The system in place now, which prevents vandalism, is of users all the time
always have their eyes on the map.
Unlike other websites, which bots might manage. .. we have actual people
always watching it.
The instant that new edits are made, everyone is aware of

Well, as the OSM community grows exponentially at the moment we will run
out of expereinced mappers pretty soon ...
There might be exponential growth in accounts opened by lurkers, bots, and
spammers but I don't think the growth in people
