As an aside, I've recently (with a DWG hat on) reverted some "schoolkid
vandalism" by an account with a similar-sounding name in
https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/82191956 , and asked the user to
get in contact via https://www.openstreetmap.org/user_blocks/3559 and an
OSM PM with the same text in it.
It's worth bearing in mind that the user sending the problem mails to
the list and making the recent problem edits might not be the same
person who made the initial edits from that OSM account. Sometimes
people use the same password for many sites (especially ones that they
don't believe to be "high value" to them - e.g. not bank accounts etc.)
and there have been examples of people's old OSM accounts being
"reused", presumably by people with access to a breach of another
website (email addresses that I've used have been involved in 3 or 4
that I know of). We've also seen credible examples of "someone's little
brother at the keyboard" doing this sort of edit, with no further ill
effects once the account owner became a bit more savvy about locking the
PC prior to leaving it unattended.
Best Regards,
Andy

Hi all,
As may have seen in Simon's response it sounds like we currently lack
list moderators. If this is something you would like to do please
email this mailing list.
Likewise we probably need to think about the criteria of what makes a
good list moderator. If there are any traits that you'd like to see in
a mailing list moderator please share with this mailing list.
Thanks,
Rob
