Hi,
OSMCha started posting comments to changesets a few days ago when a user
marks a changeset as good or bad.

I would like to ask the author(s) of OSMCha to disable this feature.
The example given at
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/wille/diary/43101 is certainly
"insufficiently localised" to European eyes (alternatively, "written by
a six-year-old") - every sentence ends with an exclamation mark*.
More seriously, any automatic use of OSM messages is problematical
because it devalues the messages that we want people to actually read -
the ones that are composed by and sent be a human, and have actual
useful information in them (and I'm glad to see that Mike N said "I
haven't used this yet because I wanted to add my own detail to the
message" - that's exactly what should be happening).
Best Regards,
Andy
