Should we invent something like office=online? Then it could be further specified with online:shop=clothes, online=pizza_delivery, or something like that. The experience at dmoz, the human edited directory, is akin to fighting the advance of a sand dune with a bucket. Eventually the dmoz editors developed a fortress mentality, actively trying to fend off the hordes of spammers, scammers, sploggers, and the occasional legitimate business owner. The "open" in "open streetmap" will become a liability, under the clutter of unverifiable submissions from business that have no physical reality that is either relevant or verifiable. -- Perhaps all online businesses can all be put on a island in the Antarctic. -- A business that a second mapper can't verify exists (with a sign or mailbox entry) I strongly feel must be excluded. _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging We are NOT mapping online-only activity. Attempting to place things like this on map is pointless and should be reverted as fast as possible to keep this from spreading.
