I don't know about your tool, but it is essential that every user has
an explicit personal account with OSM, and that they are set up to
receive emails if people add changeset comments, or post messages to
their OSM account. maps.me has a high incidence of people who seem
not to notice changeset comments.
In particular, apps need to be able to recognize that there is a 0
hour block on a user and allow them to access the changeset comments
to see the reason, and remove the block. I don't know how the API
distinguishes administrative blocks from other failures.
From a DWG perspective, I don't think we're ever been asked to or
needed to "0-hour block" a Street Complete user. They know what OSM is,
know what they signed up for and are aware that it's a community and
that people might contact them about their edits.
We have had to block users of other problem apps - in one notable case
because a "surveying" app added the same data, many times, at the same
(incorrect) latitude each time (forming a nice ring just south of the
equator). Other users of "map" apps sometimes don't understand what OSM
is at all; they don't realise that when they "add a note" they're adding
a note to OSM, not just to their personal map. That's an issue with the
apps concerned though, and doesn't apply to Street Complete.
Best Regards,
Andy
