That's a good point, let's make a list about MAPS.ME. In the countries where there's a community to fix the mess it's not that bad, but elsewhere like the Middle East...
- Limited set of available POI types to add and no choice for "not on the list". Like people adding amenity=motorcycle_parking and naming it "car parking" - Making multiple "this place is gone or has never existed" each time user taps that button - many people report stuff after each map update if it's not fixed. - Huge changeset bboxes - No option to properly add addr:place - Users led into adding notes and then uploading the exact same POIs themselves, but not closing the note - Very complicated if not impossible to add generic notes. A few days ago one mapper added a note about a missing road that as a "filler" had a office=ngo named "Road" Then maps.me added this junk POI to the map... Unlike iD, most of these seem to be an oversight. But I filed tickets at [email protected] that were acknowledged over a year ago and nothing really was fixed. So this doing nothing is controversial to me, especially if it's a simple fix for many of the above. I feel bad explaining to its mostly well meaning users that maps.me is not a great editor. For many, maps.me *is* OSM, or much worse, it is not and they are not aware of it. To be fair, there is one thing that's less common - users adding personal bookmarks as POIs. I guess the percentage of maps.me mappers doing this has converged to the amount of people who are intrinsically bad at technology and/or reading comprehension, as there is now a warning at one stage that everyone will see your edits.
