this sounds reasonable > Banning people is a possible last-resort, +1.

It is too big to remove manually. If like throwing a lot of paint-cluster-bombs over wide areas. Think of 880 ways in Ireland: that's too much to ask the community to do it manually. Reverts at that scale (if they are really 100% useless or harmful) should be dealt with in a more professional way than hitting 880 times "h" in potlatch. Not everybody is able to run revert.pl like Richard suggested, that's why some members of the community started this thread: to ask the more experienced/enabled community members for help in doing so. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
