They responded a few days ago but, as we're travelling atm, I didn't have a chance to do anything about it.
Their response: "We sincerely appreciate your efforts in bringing to our attention the organised edits rules and guidelines, of which we were previously unaware. We acknowledge the necessity to adhere to these guidelines and commit to creating a wiki page for our organised edits accordingly. However, we kindly request some time to complete this task. Regarding our compliance with other editing rules, we are confident that we are fully adhering to them. It's important to note that our system utilises tools that rely on OpenStreetMap data. Upon discovering numerous discrepancies in the NSW speed zone data within OpenStreetMap, we initiated edits to rectify these inconsistencies. Our editing process follows a detailed verification procedure, outlined as follows: 1. A driver reports a speed discrepancy on a specific road. 2. The driver report undergoes thorough verification and is escalated for further examination. 3. We utilise NSW Speed Data ( https://opendata.transport.nsw.gov.au/dataset/speed-zones) to verify the reported speed limit. 4. If the claimed speed limit aligns with the NSW Speed Data, we proceed to update it in OpenStreetMap. 5. Conversely, if the reported speed limit does not match the NSW Speed Data, we reject the claim. However, if multiple drivers report the same speed limit discrepancy over time, we request evidence from the drivers, often resulting in the provision of images depicting posted speed limit signs. Based on this evidence, we update the speed limits in OpenStreetMap accordingly. We are eager to address any discrepancies that other mappers may have reported concerning the edits we have made. Could they kindly provide us with evidence to facilitate a detailed investigation? This will enable us to reassess and update our map editing processes as necessary. Our primary objective in making these edits is to enhance the experience of our drivers and community. Therefore, we welcome any suggestions or further discussion that would contribute to ensuring the accuracy of our edits." Don't know if that answers the questions you have? I've suggested that they set up an account here to talk about what they are doing.
